Hip replacement (artificial hip joint), reoperation

Ideally, an artificial hip joint should allow patients to move without pain for 15 to 20 years. Nevertheless, around 2.5 % of patients require follow-up operations within two years of their first operation. These so-called hip joint revisions are often necessary due to infections, loosening of the prosthesis stem or bone fractures near the prosthesis.

Such reoperations should be avoided as far as possible, as they are more demanding and often do not produce the desired result.

The frequency of these premature reoperations varies from hospital to hospital. It can therefore be helpful for patients who require an artificial hip joint to consider the 2-year reoperation rates when choosing a hospital.

In Switzerland, these figures are recorded by a national implant register that documents almost all of the approximately 20,000 hip prosthesis operations performed each year. Reliable data is available from a total of 119 hospitals and clinics and over 65,000 operations.

Eight hospitals/clinics achieved significantly better results, i.e. lower 2-year reoperation rates. These are labelled with green ratings in the list of the best. Two hospitals/clinics are even highly significantly better. These are the Sonnenhofspital (Lindenhof AG) in Bern and the Schulthess Klinik in Zurich. The latter has an impressively low reoperation rate of 0.9% for almost 1,000 hip prostheses per year. Since, for statistical reasons, the smaller clinics also have some luck involved, the Schulthess Klinik is the real front-runner for us.

About the indicator «Re-operation rates»

Mesuré en tant que taux de réopération ajusté au risque pour les premières implantations d'endoprothèses (hanche artificielle, genou artificiel) dans les deux ans - par hôpital.

Strengths:

Re-operations after the insertion of prostheses are risky for patients and are associated with additional suffering. A low re-operation rate provides a reliable indications of optimal surgical techniques and procedures, the use of the best possible prosthesis products, and high-quality follow-up care.
The re-operation rates (implant register) are risk-adjusted by the Foundation for Quality Assurance in Implant Medicine SIRIS with various additional measurements (age and gender, BMI, ASA-Sore and Charnley classification). This elaborate form of risk adjustment meets high scientific standards.

Limits:

Re-operation rates are only meaningful when a hospital has a sufficient number of cases. In the case of small hospitals, nothing can be said with certainty (whereby small case numbers are considered unfavourable in terms of good quality anyway). In order to achieve statistically sufficient case numbers, observations are made over two years. This means that the figures are already two to four years old when they are published. It is therefore possible that a hospital that performs poorly could have its quality improved in the meantime and vice versa.
