Description

Ana Ocokoljic and co-authors flag who needs the second hip replaced soon in a 2024 study. After one hip swap, patients ask whether the twin joint will follow. The team read 220 first swap patients, of whom near a quarter took the second swap within about 18 months.

Three start marks foretold that path: higher body mass, a wide alpha angle past a set cut, and many bone spurs on scan. Wide angles also tracked with harsher joint wear grades. Denser bones tied to more and larger spurs over time. The marks can sharpen follow up planning.
