Factors associated with early improvement in low back pain after total hip arthroplasty: A multi-center prospective cohort analyses.
This study identified factors associated with an improvement in low back pain (LBP) at six-month follow-up after total hip arthroplasty (THA). It found that among patients reporting severe or moderate LBP preoperatively, 56 percent improved 6 months after surgery. Patients without improvement were more likely to be on Medicare, have a high school education or less, have household income less than $45,000 and have one or more comorbid conditions.
