Hip fusion can lead to hip replacement surgery because hip fusion itself is an indication for hip replacement.
Hip fusion is mainly caused by rheumatoid arthritis or advanced ankylosing spondylitis, and severe traumatic arthritis can also lead to hip fusion.
Hip fusion will lead to loss of hip function, seriously affecting the patient’s daily life, and currently the better surgical method to solve the hip fusion is to perform hip replacement, you need to fully communicate with your doctor to choose this type of treatment.
Hip replacement after hip fusion can correct the deformity of the hip joint, significantly improve the function of the patient’s hip joint, and can reduce or alleviate the local pain and discomfort, but for hip fusion patients to perform hip replacement, the difficulty is relatively larger than the general hip replacement, the risk is relatively high. Strictly follow the doctor’s instructions.
