今天就和你的髖關節專家談談吧!
前入路可改善髖關節置換手術
- 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.

髖關節置換術
髖關節置換術涉及切除髖關節的關節炎部分。
這意味著骨盆上的髖關節窩用金屬重新表面,關節炎股骨頭被移除,並用放置在股骨(大腿骨)中的球和桿代替。
髖關節有許多不同的方法。
接近髖關節窩的最常見方法是通過後髖關節和前髖關節入路

前髖關節置換術的 8 大好處是什麼?
- 軟組織保留 – 前入路避免了切割肌肉,因為它遵循肌肉之間的自然路徑。
- 較小的切口 – 髖關節的前入路更靠近髖關節,允許更小的切口。
- 減輕疼痛 – 許多患者在手術當天確實抱怨疼痛,並且可能不需要超過泰諾來控制疼痛。
- 無髖關節後部預防措施 – 傳統方法要求患者避免內旋髖關節,或將髖關節彎曲超過 90 度。
這對處於恢復階段的患者來說可能非常有限。 - 更快、更容易的恢復 – 沒有后髖關節預防措施和手術后疼痛較少,恢復速度要快得多
- 提早出院 – 許多患者能夠在手術當天回家
- 降低髖關節脫位的風險 – 在手術過程中更準確地定位植入物可以降低髖關節脫位的風險
- 相等的腿長 – 手術後腿長的差異,尤其是在夏威夷(人們穿著拖鞋或赤腳走在海灘上),可能是一個大問題。
在髖關節前路手術期間進行的術中 X 射線可以更準確地放置植入物並避免腿長問題。
什麼時候應該考慮進行髖關節置換術?
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.
您是前髖關節置換術的候選人嗎?
一般來說,大多數患者可能會接受兩種方法的髖關節置換術。
前全髖關節手術不太適合超重或過去已經接受過其他髖關節手術的患者。
患有髖關節嚴重畸形或存在可能減慢傷口癒合的健康問題的患者也可能面臨前全髖關節置換術結果較差的高風險。如果您想查看自己是否適合進行前髖關節置換術, 請致電 Morton 醫生進行預約 。
如何在手術過程中正確測量腿長?
傳統上,許多患者在後路全髖關節置換術后抱怨腿長不平等和髖關節外側疼痛。 Morton 博士在手術期間使用 X 射線等專用工具在術中檢查腿長。
有時,在翻修和畸形手術期間,讓您的腿長完美可能更難實現。
在手術過程中,Morton 醫生還會考慮髖關節的偏移。
偏移量是衡量股骨與骨盆骨之間距離的指標。
它離得越遠,偏移量越大。
高偏移有時會對髖關節施加更大的壓力並引起疼痛。
低偏移會導致髖關節不穩定。
Morton 醫生使用專門的工具來説明找出髖關節的適當偏移。

有切合實際的期望
在決定進行髖關節置換術時,您需要瞭解關節置換手術的局限性。
超過90%接受全髖關節置換術的人的髖關節疼痛得到了令人難以置信的減輕,並且在恢復更好的功能方面有了顯著改善。
對於大多數正常使用和活動的患者來說,髖關節置換術很少會磨損塑膠墊片。
Morton 博士喜歡每年對患者進行 X 光檢查,以確保您的髖關節置換術繼續發揮最佳功能。
活動量或重量的增加可能會加速塑膠部件的磨損,並可能導致髖關節置換術鬆動或變得疼痛。
康復后,您會覺得自己可以進行許多體育鍛煉。 美國骨科醫師學會 建議我們的患者避免跑步、慢跑、跳躍或其他進行髖關節置換術的高衝擊力活動。
與 Morton 博士談論髖關節置換術
Dr. Morton is one of the few orthopedic surgeons in Honolulu, Hawaii who is fellowship-trained in hip and knee reconstruction. He regularly takes care of complicated hip replacements, performs anterior total hip replacements, and revision total hip replacements. He performs surgery at Queen’s Medical Center which has received Advanced Certification for total hip and total knee replacement from the Joint Commission and is the only hospital in the state of Hawaii that is rated as “High Performing” in both Hip and Knee replacements by US News.
