Overview
The purpose of the research study is to examine the long-term outcomes of complex and conversion total hip arthroplasty procedures. By means of both retrospective (chart review) and prospective (in-person clinic visits) radiographs and validated patient-reported outcome scores including the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), the research team aims to collect, analyze, and summarize the outcome data. The outcomes of the follow-up appointment will be analyzed in comparison to previous findings over various intervals to assess changes over time, if data is available.
