    Abstract

    Aims

    Rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) is an effective joint-preserving surgical treatment for acetabular dysplasia. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in muscle strength, gait speed, and clinical outcome in the operated hip after RAO over a one-year period using a standard protocol for rehabilitation.

    Patients and Methods

    A total of 57 patients underwent RAO for acetabular dysplasia. Changes in muscle strength of the operated hip, 10 m gait speed, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) hip score, and factors correlated with hip muscle strength after RAO were retrospectively analyzed.

    Results

    Three months postoperatively, the strength of the operated hip in flexion and abduction and gait speed had decreased from their preoperative levels. After six months, the strength of flexion and abduction had recovered to their preoperative level, as had gait speed. At one-year follow-up, significant improvements were seen in the strength of hip abduction and gait speed, but muscle strength in hip flexion remained at the preoperative level. The mean JOA score for hip function was 91.4 (51 to 100)) at one-year follow-up. Body mass index (BMI) showed a negative correlation with both strength of hip flexion (r = -0.4203) and abduction (r = -0.4589) one year after RAO. Although weak negative correlations were detected between strength of hip flexion one year after surgery and age (r = -0.2755) and centre-edge (CE) angle (r = -0.2989), no correlation was found between the strength of abduction and age and radiological evaluations of CE angle and acetabular roof obliquity (ARO).

    Conclusion

    Hip muscle strength and gait speed had recovered to their preoperative levels six months after RAO. The clinical outcome at one year was excellent, although the strength of hip flexion did not improve to the same degree as that of hip abduction and gait speed. A higher BMI may result in poorer recovery of hip muscle strength after RAO. Radiologically, acetabular coverage did not affect the recovery of hip muscle strength at one year’s follow-up. A more intensive rehabilitation programme may improve this.
