前路方法改进了髋关节置换手术
- Soft Tissue Sparing – Anterior approach avoids cutting the muscle, as it follows the natural path between the muscles.
- Smaller Incisions – Anterior approach to the hip is much closer to the hip joint, allowing for a smaller incision.
- Less Pain – Many patients do complain of pain on the day of surgery, and may not require more than Tylenol for pain control.
- No Posterior Hip Precautions – The traditional approaches require patients to avoid internally rotating the hip, or bending the hip past 90 degrees. This can be very limiting for patients during their recovery phase.
- Faster and Easier Recovery – Without posterior hip precautions and less pain after surgery, recovery is much faster
- Early Discharge From Hospital – Many patients are able to go home on the day of surgery
- Lower Risk of Hip Dislocation – More accurate positioning of implants during surgery allow for a lower risk of hip dislocation
- Equal Leg Lengths – Leg length discrepancy after surgery, especially in Hawaii (where people wear slippers or walk barefoot on the beach), can be a big deal. Intra-operative x-rays performed during the anterior hip surgery allow for more accurate placement of implants and avoid leg length issues.

髋关节置换术
髋关节置换术需要切除髋关节的关节炎部分。
这意味着骨盆上的髋臼要重新铺上金属,关节炎的股骨头要移除,取而代之的是植入股骨(大腿骨)的球和柄。
治疗髋关节的方法有很多种。
最常见的髋臼入路是髋关节后入路和髋关节前入路

髋关节前路置换术有哪些 8 大好处?
- 不损伤软组织– 前路方法可避免切断肌肉,因为它遵循肌肉之间的自然路径。
- 切口更小– 髋关节前路更接近髋关节,因此切口更小。
- 减轻疼痛–许多患者在手术当天都会抱怨疼痛,但他们可能只需要泰诺来止痛。
- 无髋关节后部预防措施– 传统方法要求患者避免髋关节内旋或弯曲超过 90 度。
这对患者的恢复阶段会造成很大的限制。 - 恢复更快、更容易–没有髋关节后部预防措施,术后疼痛更少,恢复更快
- 提前出院–许多患者可以在手术当天回家
- 降低髋关节脱位的风险– 手术中植入物的定位更准确,降低了髋关节脱位的风险
- 等长的腿部 长度– 手术后腿部长度不一致,尤其是在夏威夷(人们穿拖鞋或赤脚走在沙滩上),可能是个大问题。
在髋关节前路手术中进行术中X光检查,可以更准确地植入假体,避免腿长问题。
何时应考虑进行髋关节置换?
A hip replacement is a good option for patients who have severe pain in their hip secondary to arthritis. Most patients with arthritis experience pain in their groin region. Sometimes this pain can be felt on the outside of their hip. Often times patients experience this pain as “knee pain”. It can often be difficult to tell when patients have pain that comes from their knee or their hip. Dr. Morton uses a combination of x-rays, physical exam, and diagnostic injections to help you determine what is contributing to your pain.
You should consider having a hip replacement when your hip causes enough pain that prevents you from enjoying your life and you have failed nonoperative treatment.
您适合髋关节前路置换术吗?
一般来说,大多数患者可以通过两种方法进行髋关节置换术。
前路全髋关节手术不太适合体重超重或过去已接受过其他髋关节手术的患者。
髋关节明显畸形或有健康问题导致伤口愈合缓慢的患者,也可能是前路全髋关节置换术效果较差的高风险人群。 请致电莫顿医生预约如果您想了解自己是否适合前路髋关节置换术。
手术中如何正确测量腿长?
传统上,许多后路全髋关节置换术后的患者都会抱怨腿长短不一和髋关节外侧疼痛。 莫顿医生在手术过程中会使用X光等专业工具来检查术中的腿长。
在翻修和畸形手术中,有时很难达到完美的腿长。
在手术过程中,莫顿医生还会考虑您髋关节的偏移量。
偏移量是测量股骨头与骨盆骨之间的距离。
距离越远,偏移越大。
偏移量大有时会增加髋部的压力,导致疼痛。
偏移过低则会导致髋关节不稳定。
莫顿医生会使用专门的工具来帮助确定髋关节的适当偏移量。
请与莫顿医生讨论腿的长度和偏移量,以了解他将如何个性化地为您植入髋关节假体。
抱有现实的期望
在决定进行髋关节置换时,您需要了解关节置换手术的局限性。
90%以上接受全髋关节置换术的患者髋关节疼痛明显减轻,在恢复更好的功能方面也有显著改善。
对于大多数正常使用和活动的患者来说,髋关节置换很少会磨损塑料垫片。
莫顿医生喜欢每年对患者进行一次X光随访,以确保您的髋关节置换手术能继续发挥其最佳功能。
增加活动量或体重可能会加速塑料部件的磨损,并可能导致髋关节置换术后松动或疼痛。
恢复后,您会觉得自己可以进行很多体育活动。 美国骨科外科医生学会建议我们的患者在接受髋关节置换术后避免跑步、慢跑、跳跃或其他高冲击性活动。
