The “hump” on his back is like the heavy shell of a snail, forcing him to hold his chest, bend his head, and even hunch over because of his hunchback. In Mr. Yu’s world, it is an impossible task to “look at the moon”, and he feels a different kind of sorrow when passers-by turn around frequently. When he takes off his clothes, his jagged body appears to be “heaving” due to the distortion of his bones, and he can never lie flat in bed, nor can he ever see the ceiling. The stiffness of his spine and hip joints prevented him from straightening his thighs, and he looked like a baby, and even when he slept on his side, he could not bring his lower legs together. For several years, Mr. Yu was like a curled up shrimp. Both hips not only had persistent pain, but also had zero mobility, that is, they were completely stiff and immobile, and he walked with his calves curled up. The above is the real picture of Mr. Yu’s body shape in the past 5 years. Last June, he finally completed his transformation in Jiaxing Second Hospital. At present, he can not only open a normal pace with the aid of a walker, but also the physical “deformity” has been largely improved, and his height has been “pulled up” a lot, and more importantly, he can sleep in bed like a normal person. In Jiaxing Second Hospital, he was completely “deformed”. This is not cosmetic surgery, but because Mr. Yu suffered from “compulsory spondylitis, bilateral hip ankylosis”, joint pain and limited mobility for 20 years, the rapid development of the disease in the past five years, so that joint mobility continued to decline until basically immobile. Ankylosing spondylitis is an immune system disease that often involves joints throughout the body in addition to the spine. There are many patients who come in for surgery for pain and limited mobility of their joints, but those as severe as his are few, and the difficulty and risk of surgery are very high. On June 20 last year, after careful preoperative planning and preparation, the orthopedic department of Jiaxing Second Hospital first performed “left total hip replacement” for this patient. His other hip joint replacement was performed 2 weeks later with the cooperation of doctors from related departments. The surgery was very successful and after the surgery, there was no “malfunction” of the joints, blood vessels, nervous system and muscles. Now, he has improved many of his previous difficulties in life, for example, he can only sleep on his side and curl up before, but now he can basically lie flat; all of his joints were fused before, but now his mobility has basically returned to the normal range; he can now walk with his joints unfolded, instead of relying on his calves for support. These series of improvement in quality of life made the patient especially feel the urgency of the existence of the surgery, and regretted for his delay for so many years. The doctor analyzed the reasons why Mr. Yu had not sought medical treatment for his bowed body shape in recent years: First, the patient had delayed seeking medical treatment due to some of his own factors; second, he had a 20-year-long course of the disease, and in the past five years, his condition had continued to deteriorate due to poor control. In the case of dramatic decrease in activity and serious condition, the patient still stays under the inaccurate consultation plan; Third, there are hospitals with serious disconnection between medical and surgical treatment, resulting in serious deterioration of such patients, even irreversible. In Jiaxing Second Hospital, for similar diseases, different medical interventions are carried out by the Rheumatology and Immunology Department and Joint Surgery Department respectively according to different stages, resulting in many patients receiving satisfactory and individualized treatment and good clinical results. It is rare to find a patient with such a shape as Mr. Yu, and it is “fortunate” that he recovered well after the operation with the excellent technical cooperation of the medical workers, and the operation has also filled the gap in the city. So doctors still remind patients of similar diseases, try not to challenge the surgeon’s surgical bottom line, early and professional treatment for any disease, is the immutable truth.
