Table 2 Age distribution at pTHA according to the LCE angle. Unifactorial variance analysis revealed statistical significance concerning the difference of age at pTHA between these groups for the entire model (p ≤ 0.001). On average, patients with an LCE angle ≤ 10° required THA more than 10 years earlier
LCE angle | ≤ 10° | 11–20° | 21–30° |
|---|---|---|---|
Number of patients (n) | 12 | 37 | 80 |
Mean age at THA (years) | 41.9 ± 14.0 | 52.7 ± 9.5 | 57.0 ± 10.3 |
Range of age at THA (years) | [15 to 68] | [33 to 73] | [30 to 78] |
