Abstract

To evaluate the functional outcomes of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a tertiary care centre using the modified Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Oxford Hip Score (OHS) to analyse post‐operative complications and their impact on functional recovery. This retrospective cohort study included 34 patients (mean age: 66.3 years., 15 males, 19 females) who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a tertiary care centre from January 2022 to December 2023. Data on patient demographics, comorbidities and surgical details were collected. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Oxford Hip Score (OHS) preoperatively and at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively. Statistical analyses were performed to compare pre‐and postoperative scores and complications were documented. The study included 34 patients (mean age: 66.3 years., 15 males, 19 females) with preoperative Harris Hip Scores (HHS) averaging 44.7 and Oxford Hip Scores (OHS) averaging 30.2. Postoperative HHS improved significantly at 1 year, with a mean score of 90 and OHS improved to 50 (p<0.001). Complications were observed in 11.8% of cases, including infections, dislocations and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), with a mean hospital stay of 5.8 days. Patient satisfaction scores averaged 8.2 out of 10, reflecting favourable outcomes. Primary total hip arthroplasty significantly improves functional outcomes, as evidenced by substantial increases in Harris Hip Scores and Oxford Hip Scores at 1‐year follow‐up. Despite a low complication rate, the procedure demonstrated high patient satisfaction, highlighting its effectiveness and safety in managing hip joint disorders. These findings support the continued use of THA as a reliable treatment in tertiary care settings.
