Effects of COVID-19 on short-term outcomes of hip arthroplasty: a multicenter, retrospective, propensity score matched study
Our findings suggest that COVID-19 only elevated risks of postoperative pneumonia and UTI after hip arthroplasty. This disease significantly increases the risk of postoperative pneumonia but not of 90-day mortality or any major perioperative complication. On the other hand, PJI still remains a concern because its treatment is challenging owing to its culture-negativity, often necessitating the Girdlestone procedure.
