Postoperative complication rates in SO patients were higher than those in the NSO group. Length of stay and cost of care were higher, whereas the mean age was lower for the SO group. Therefore, THA in SO patients should be undertaken only after careful consideration and preferably in a tertiary facility capable of handling all medical and surgical in-hospital complications.
