目的评估人工全髋关节置换术(total hip arthroplasty,THA)治疗髋关节骨性强直的效果。方法自1987年8月~1998年2月,36例(38髋)行转换THA,平均术前融合时间20年1个月;平均随访8年11个月。结果Harris评分由(68.7±7.2)...目的评估人工全髋关节置换术(total hip arthroplasty,THA)治疗髋关节骨性强直的效果。方法自1987年8月~1998年2月,36例(38髋)行转换THA,平均术前融合时间20年1个月;平均随访8年11个月。结果Harris评分由(68.7±7.2)分提高到(87±6.1)分;髋关节总活动度增加180.7°±14.5°。关节疼痛缓解率为93.3%;平均肢体短缩由4.1cm降到1.6cm;人工关节存活率为86.8%。X线片示髋臼骨溶解6例,髋臼杯松动2例,股骨骨溶解4例,股骨柄松动1例。结论骨性强直的髋关节转换THA,可以缓解周围关节疼痛、增加髋关节的活动度、改善双下肢不等长和矫正髋关节畸形,提高生活质量。髋关节功能与臀中肌力量的恢复直接关联。展开更多
