Appropriateness and Total Hip Arthroplasty: Determining the Structure of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons System of Classification.
Daniel L RiddleRobert A PereraPublished in: The Journal of rheumatology (2019)
Classification for hip arthroplasty appropriateness in the AAOS system is driven almost exclusively by age and OA severity. Function-limiting pain, a major reason patients seek surgery, contributes only slightly to the AAOS appropriateness criteria. The system relies heavily on traditional variables of patient age and radiographic hip OA severity. Future study of actual patient outcomes is needed to further test the validity of the AAOS system.
