Does Order of Operation Matter in Patients Who Have Concomitant Hip and Spine Pathology?

BACKGROUND: In patients, who have coexisting lumbar spine and degenerative hip disease, there remains uncertainty regarding whether hip or spine surgery should be performed first. We hypothesized that undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) would protect against subsequent lumbar spine surgery (LSS) in patients who have 'hip-spine syndrome.'.

METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed from 2013 to 2021 on patients who had radiographically-confirmed hip osteoarthritis and degenerative lumbar spine pathology, evaluated separately in spine and arthroplasty clinics prior to surgical intervention. Included patients ultimately underwent THA and/or LSS. The primary outcome was survivorship free of LSS or THA after the other was initially performed.

RESULTS: Of 256 patients, 206 (80.5%) underwent THA first. Only 14 of 206 (6.8%) who underwent THA required subsequent LSS, while 31 of 50 (62%) who underwent LSS required subsequent THA, (P < .001). At 5 years, there was 93.9% survivorship-free of LSS in the THA first group, compared to 44.7% survivorship-free of subsequent THA in the LSS group. Multivariate analyses showed that patients who had THA first had lower odds of undergoing subsequent surgery (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, CI: 0.52-0.70, P < .001) compared to those who underwent LSS first. Additionally, those who have higher initial Kellgren-Lawrence grade hip osteoarthritis had lower odds (OR: 0.94, CI: 0.89-0.99, P = .04), and those who have progressive neurologic deficits (OR: 2.64, CI: 1.89-3.7, P < .001) and neurogenic claudication (OR: 1.15, CI: 1.06-1.24, P = .001) had increased odds of undergoing subsequent LSS.

CONCLUSION: Patients with 'hip-spine syndrome' may receive more initial benefit from undergoing THA, potentially reducing the subsequent need for LSS. The exceptions were those patients who had lower-severity hip osteoarthritis and symptoms of major spinal stenosis.
