• This study investigated the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) after failed peri-hip bone flap grafting (PBFG) and compared them with those patients undergoing primary THA for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). From January 2010 to December 2021, 163 Chinese patients (163 hips) were treated by conversion THA after failed PBFG (containing 94 patients who had pedicled vascularized iliac bone flap grafting and 69 patients who had pedicled vascularized greater trochanter bone flap grafting), and 178 Chinese patients were treated by primary THA. The preoperative baseline data and perioperative indicators in both groups were compared. In the conversion group, patients had significantly greater blood loss, a longer length of stay, and greater changes in serum hemoglobin than those in the primary THA group (P < 0.05). The operative room time, transfusion volume, calculated blood loss, changes in serum hematocrit, and increased superficial infection (P > 0.05) in the conversion group were greater compared with the primary cohort; however, the difference was not statistically significant. The mean postoperative Harris Hip Scoring system (HHS) of the PBFG group at the 1-month follow-up was 81, and the control group had a score of 82. Importantly, subgroup analysis of the PBFG group indicated that there was no significant difference between patients who had prior pedicled vascularized iliac bone flap grafting and pedicled vascularized greater trochanter bone flap grafting (P > 0.05), except for the operative room time (P = 0.032). Hip-sparing surgery of ONFH did not make THA more difficult or lead to more perioperative complications, but increased blood loss and extended hospital stay from a prior PBFG are still notable problems in clinical practice. Thus, it is necessary for surgeons to focus attention on the improvement of the preoperative condition and prepare for any specific intraoperative challenges.
