Length doesn’t play a role – Sexual activity in men after short stem Total hip Arthroplasty

BACKGROUND: Chronic hip pain due to osteoarthritis or hip dysplasia has been shown to negatively affect many daily life aspects. One aspect, however, which persists underestimated is sexual health. The number of total hip arthroplasties (THA) are increasing, especially in young patients who have hig...

description BACKGROUND: Chronic hip pain due to osteoarthritis or hip dysplasia has been shown to negatively affect many daily life aspects. One aspect, however, which persists underestimated is sexual health. The number of total hip arthroplasties (THA) are increasing, especially in young patients who have high functional expectations, not only to pain relief, but to an increase in hip mobility and quality of life as well as sexual activity. AIM: (1) to report the demographic factors, (2) the sexual activity before and after THA, as well as the concerns related to sexual activity after THA and (3) the patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) in sexually active male patients. METHODS: We evaluated the results of patients between 18 and 65 years of age following primary cementless short femoral stem THA using a direct anterior approach (DAA) at a midterm follow-up of 4 years. A web-based questionnaire (via SurveyMonkey) was chosen to assess frequency, positions, complaints, fears, dealing with the questions and PROMs. Our patients sexual activity was via The Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) validated. RESULTS: Patients resumed their sexual activities after 6 weeks. The two main causes of difficulty in sexual activity before surgery were pain and limitation of the range of motion of the hip joint. Patients experienced less pain and an improvement in hip range of motion after THA. 89% of patients expressed a desire for more detailed and specific information on the subject. The patients foremost concern about muscle weakness, surgical scar or fear of dislocation. After 4 years follow-up our patients presented a significant improvement of the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) from 34.1 preoperative to 92.6 after THA. CONCLUSION: THA improves the quality in sexual life, in relation to less pain and improvement in the range of motion, but not in the frequency of sexual activity. Men’s sexual positions required less mobility and could therefore be considered safer.
