Abstract:
Objective To observe the medium-and long-term results of one-stage debridement and total hip arthroplasty (THA) for advanced active tuberculosis of the hip.Methods From January 2002 to December 2008,8 patients (9 hips) with advanced active tuberculosis of the hip underwent one-stage debridement and THA in our hospital.There were 5 males and 3 females,aged from 18 to 59 years (average,39.6 years).According to Babhuulkar and Pande imaging classification,there were 1 case of grade Ⅲ and 7 cases of grade Ⅳ.All patients had hip pain,which got serious during active and passive motion.All patients had dysfunction in stretch,abduction,rotation and flexion of the hip,and the flexion deformity ranged from 30° to 70° (average,46°).Thomas sign were positive in all patients.The erythrocyte sedimentation rate ranged from 45 to 125 mrr/1 h.The results of tuberculin test were all positive.X-rays showed osteoclasia,narrowing or disappearance of the joint space and surrounding abscess in all patients.The diagnosis of hip joint tuberculosis was confirmed by postoperative pathological examination in all patients.All patients were treated with antituberculous medications for 12 to 18 months,including preoperative IRES (≥ 2 weeks) and postoperative IRES (3 months),IRE (6 to 9 months) and IR (3 to 6 months).Results All patients were followed up for 50 to 150 months (average,88.8 months).One-stage healing of incision was obtained in all patients.X-rays showed no signs about loosening of prosthesis and recurrence of tuberculosis.The erythrocyte sedimentation rate returned to normal range within 6 months after operation.The average Harris score improved from preoperative 25.78±16.15 to 94.78±2.91 at final follow-up,and the difference was significant.Conclusion Under the standard antituberculosis chemotherapy,the one-stage debridement and THA are safe and feasible for advanced active tuberculosis of the hip,which can result in satisfactory medium-and long-term resuits.
