Abstract
AimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip-Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ).Methods100 consecutive patients at 6 months after total hip arthroplasty (THA) were evaluated.ResultsThe improvement rate for the pain subscale was significantly higher than that for the movement and mental subscales. Preoperative scores on the JHEQ movement and mental subscales were positively correlated to scores on the same subscales at 6 months after surgery.ConclusionWe conclude that the most predictable aspect of THA is pain relief and preoperative hip-joint ROM and mental status influence 6-month postoperative outcomes.
