Pregnancy outcomes following total hip arthroplasty: a preliminary study and review of the literature.
Pregnancy outcomes among patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) during their reproductive years were retrospectively evaluated. Twenty-one patients reported pregnancies after THA and 20 had live births. No prosthesis-related problems were reported. This is the first study that provides a patient-based assessment of pregnancy outcomes and delivery in women who underwent THA. The preliminary data suggest THA had no adverse effect on subsequent childbearing.
