Introduction: Sexual activity is often an important component of life. To date, no studies have examined sexual activity before and after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in male patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of THA on sexual activity and to explore the most commonly reported and comfortable coital position for male AS patients with hip involvement. Methods: Data from 31 male AS patients who underwent THA for hip involvement were retrospectively reviewed. Information from the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and other clinical parameters was collected and monitored over time. We compared the above-mentioned parameters before surgery and 2 years after surgery and analysed the correlation between changes on the IIEF and changes in clinical parameters. Results: The domain and total scores of the IIEF, except EF, were significantly higher after surgery than were those before surgery ( p < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between changes on the IIEF and improvement in flexion-extension range of motion (ROM), adduction-abduction ROM and HHS ( p < 0.05). Most patients (26/31, 83.9%) resumed sexual activity 5–12 weeks after surgery. The pre- and postoperative distributions of the most commonly reported and comfortable position were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Successful THA may improve sexual activity in male AS patients with hip involvement. Changes in hip ROM show the most significant correlation with improvement in sexual activity. Resumption of sexual activity occurs within 5–12 postoperative weeks.

Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for bony ankylosis is technically challenging in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study aimed to determine the mid-term results of bilateral synchronous THA for bony ankylosis in patients with AS. Methods Nineteen cases of bony ankylosis in patients with AS who received bilateral synchronous THA were included in this study (17 males and 2 females, mean age 49.2 years). Disease duration was 5–38 years (mean 18 years and 6 months). All patients received cementless THA. Intraoperative blood loss, visual analog scale (VAS) score, and complications were assessed. Harris hip scores evaluated the clinical effect. Results Patients were followed up for 62–98 months (mean 82.5 months). VAS score decreased from 7.42 ± 0.92 to 2.42 ± 0.83, Harris hip score improved from 21.8 ± 7.2 to 80.3 ± 6.5, and the flexion-extension range of the hip improved from 0 to 142.3 ± 6.2°. One patient with septum bronchiale had a fracture intraoperatively and was treated with wire strapping. One patient had a traction injury of the femoral nerve postoperatively and recovered 1 year after the operation. Loosening and subsidence were not observed in all patients. Heterotopic bone formation was noted in 3 patients. No complications such as joint dislocation, acute infection, and deep vein thrombosis were found. Conclusion Bilateral synchronous THA was effective for bony ankylosis of the hip in patients with AS because it improved patients’ quality of life and had satisfactory mid-term outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Currently, the number of adolescents with terminal stages of coxarthrosis of various origins who underwent total hip joint arthroplasty has increased, as the use of modern implant models with a long service life has narrowed the age limit and expanded the indications for this intervention. AIM: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty in adolescents with stage 3 coxarthrosis caused by acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study analyzed preoperative data and postoperative clinical, radiological, and functional examination data of 40 patients aged 1318 (15 1.2) years with stage 3 coxarthrosis caused by acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. The study group was composed of 21 (52.5%) boys and 19 (47.5%) girls. The control group consisted of 32 patients with stage 3 post-traumatic coxarthrosis, aged 1218 (15.4 1.7) years, of which 14 (43.75%) were girls and 18 (56.25%) were boys. RESULTS: The long-term functional results were evaluated using the Harris hip score (14). The average Harris hip scores before and after arthroplasty were 44.87 5.65 and 80 7.61 (p 0.05), respectively. In the comparison group, the mean Harris hip scores before and after surgery were 33.73 4.28 and 89.47 5.60 points, respectively (p 0.05). The postoperative follow-up duration was 5 3 M SD (95% confidence interval) years. No complications were observed in the early and late postoperative periods. CONCLUSIONS: In adolescents, total hip arthroplasty is an effective surgical treatment for complications of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. It quickly provides attainable, stable, and favorable outcomes, which improve the quality of life and social adaptation of adolescents.

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) can commonly involve the hip joint and cause significant mobility problems. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) on a single side alone will not restore mobility in patients with bilateral disease. We performed a systematic review of the available literature to determine the changes in objective outcome measures and complications of bilateral THA in patients with advanced AS. Four studies, a total of 114 THAs, were included in the study. The average patient age was 32.9 years and the average follow-up time was 59.5 months. All studies reported a significant improvement in hip function, patient satisfaction and patient mobility following bilateral THA. Harris Hip Score (HHS) improved by a mean of 60.6 points post-operatively. Complications included five intra-operative fractures (4.4%) and three transient nerve palsies (2.6%). There were two dislocations (1.8%) that were successfully managed with closed reduction. Seven hips required revision, with the most common cause being aseptic loosening. Twelve hips (10.5%) developed heterotopic ossification consistent with Brooker Class 1 or 2 with no reports of re-ankylosis. This review suggests that bilateral THA is a safe and effective treatment of advanced hip disease in AS. Attention must be paid to the highly demanding technical aspects of this procedure to reduce the risk of significant complications. Debate still exists on the ideal prosthesis, fixation method and approach to use but this review presents data from several series of uncemented prostheses that have good post-operative results.

Peripheral joints involvement in Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has been reported in 73% of these cases, with the hip being the most commonly affected diarthrodial joint. The reported prevalence of hip involvement in AS varies from 19 to 36%. Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is often required to manage pain and restore function and mobility. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze outcomes related to performing THA on patients with AS. Methods: We evaluated the oncologic, functional outcome and complications of a patient 27 years old with Ewing sarcoma Data of 19 AS patients who underwent 29 THAs between 2014 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and imaging data were collected preoperatively, postoperatively, and during the follow-up period for surgical outcomes. Results: There were 14 males and 5 females with 29 affected hips (53% bilateral, 47% unilateral). The average patient at surgery was 31.7 years old (range, 17-47 years). After surgeries, overall inclinations and anteversions of acetabular cups were 44.9°±0.3° (range, 30°–50°) and 18.42°±0.30° (range, 0°–25°) respectively. Mean Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score decreased from 7.4±0.14 (range, 4–10) preoperatively to 3.21±0.09 (range, 0–4) at final follow-up. Mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) improved from 24.36±2.6 (range, 15–45) to 92±1.66 (range, 80–95) at final follow-up. Postoperative Range of Motion (ROM) was improved from 10.26°±2.61° (range, 0°–50°) preoperatively to 84.26°±0.76° (range, 70°–100°) at final follow-up. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) score, which shows the activity of disease, was 7.6±0.17, and it decreased to 3.5±0.15 at last follow-up. There were post-operative complications in 8 hips (27.6%). Superficial wound infection was documented in 3 hips (10.3%), sciatic nerve injury in 1 hip (3.4%), implant loosening in 2 hip (6.9%), and heterotopic ossification was documented in 2 hips (6.9%) at final follow-up. Conclusion: Surgical outcomes of THA for AS patients with hip involvement are satisfactory.

Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective procedure for patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis. However, whether or not pre-operatively existing functional deficits are persisting several years post-surgery in the affected limb has not been thoroughly researched. Therefore, the primary aim of this preliminary study was to include patients four to five years after undergoing THA and to investigate potential differences between the operated and non-operated leg in hip strength, range of motion (ROM), balance, and gait. The secondary aim was to compare these values from the operated leg of the patients to those of the legs of healthy subjects. Methods Sixteen patients (age: 65.20 ± 5.32 years) following unilateral THA (post-operation time: 4.7 ± 0.7 years) and ten, healthy, age-matched control subjects (age: 60.85 ± 7.57 years) were examined for maximum isometric hip muscle strength, active ROM of the hip joint, balance and gait on both limbs. Paired t-tests were used to assess the inter-limb differences in the THA group. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) were performed to compare groups, using age as a covariate. Results The analysis of inter-limb differences in patients following THA revealed significant deficits on the operated side for hip abduction strength (p = 0.02), for hip flexion ROM (p < 0.01) and for balance in terms of the length of center of pressure (COP) (p = 0.04). Compared to values of the control subjects, the patients demonstrated significantly reduced hip strength in flexion, extension and abduction (p < 0.05) on the operated leg as well as reduced ROM measures in hip flexion, extension and abduction (p < 0.05). Conclusions The first results of this explorative study indicated that inter-limb differences as well as reduced hip strength and hip ROM compared with control subjects were still present four to five years after THA. These persisting asymmetries and deficits in patients following THA may be one explanation for the decrease in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) seen in patients over the years after surgery. Further studies are required to replicate these findings with a larger sample size. Trial registration DRKS, DRKS00016945. Registered 12 March 2019 – Retrospectively registered,

Background: Total hip arthroplasty combined with the concept of enhanced recovery is of continued worldwide interest, as it is reported to improve early functional outcome and treatment quality without increasing complications. The aim of the study was to investigate functional outcome and quality of life 4 weeks and 12 months after cementless total hip arthroplasty in combination with an enhanced recovery concept. Methods: A total of 109 patients underwent primary cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in an enhanced recovery concept and were retrospectively analyzed. After 4 weeks and 12 months, clinical examination was analyzed regarding function, pain and satisfaction; results were evaluated using Harris Hip score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS and subjective patient-related outcome measures (PROMs). Preoperatively, HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) was collected. A correlation analysis of age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), HADS and comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, art. hypertension, cardiovascular disease) with WOMAC, Harris Hip score (HHS) and EQ-5D was performed. Results: Patients showed a significant improvement in Harris Hip score 4 weeks and 12 months postoperatively (p < 0.001). WOMAC total score, subscale pain, subscale stiffness and subscale function improved significantly from preoperative to 12 months postoperative (p < 0.001). EQ-5D showed a significant improvement preoperative to postoperative (p < 0.001). The influence of anxiety or depression (HADS-A or HADS-D) on functional outcome could not be determined. There was a high patient satisfaction postoperatively, and almost 100% of patients would choose enhanced recovery surgery again. Conclusion: Cementless THA with the concept of enhanced recovery improves early clinical function and quality of life. PROMs showed a continuous improvement over a follow-up of 12 months after surgery. PROMs can help patients and surgeons to modify expectations and improve patient satisfaction.
