Patients Requiring both Lumbar Spinal Fusion and Total Hip Arthroplasty Have Delayed Clinically Relevant Global Improvement Timelines. Findings from a Propensity Score-Matched Analysis of Time to MCID.
INTRODUCTION Lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) influences outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, no prior investigation has utilized a time to minimal clinically important difference (MCID) analysis. This study compared time to MCID after THA in patients who also underwent LSF versus patients who did not, a...
