What are the sequelae of hip arthrodesis?

The disadvantages of hip arthrodesis are also obvious. Because the hip joint is located at the junction of the trunk and lower limbs, even if one side of the joint is fused, it will cause great inconvenience to the patient's walking, lying, sitting and life.

The contralateral limb, hip joint, lumbar spine and knee joint can cause premature degenerative changes. Therefore, we need to choose hip arthrodesis carefully. If the patient is obese or some diseases can not be replaced, we should choose hip arthrodesis for treatment.

Artificial hip arthroplasty is a kind of prosthesis similar to human bone joint made of metal materials with good biocompatibility and mechanical properties. The purpose of artificial hip arthroplasty is to remove the focus, remove the pain, and restore the activity and original function of the joint.

matters needing attention

1. The drainage tube was removed 48-72 hours after operation. Use antibiotics. The hip was fixed with "Ren" plaster for 2-3 months, and the external fixation could be removed only after X-ray re examination and fusion. 2. If there are tuberculosis symptoms or other specific infection before operation, the corresponding drug treatment should be continued after operation. 3. Early muscle function exercise. 4. Avoid strenuous activities and trauma within 3 months to avoid fusion failure.
