Vaginal delivery OK after total hip replacement. (Studies Show Low Risk).
NEW ORLEANS -- Vaginal delivery is feasible for women who have undergone total hip replacement, according to data from two studies presented in poster form at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
One study, presented by Dr. Rafael J. Sierra of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., retrospectively reviewed 343 women aged 18-45 years who had primary total hip replacements between 1975 and 1995. A total of 57 of these women together had 108 pregnancies after hip replacements during the study period. The babies were delivered by cesarean section in 20 patients and vaginally in 31 patients; the delivery method was unknown for the remaining 6 patients. Of the 57 women who became pregnant after total hip replacement, 8 (14%) noted increased hip pain during pregnancy and approximately half of these reported persistent hip pain post pregnancy.
