Reconstruction of female hip joint with autologous femoral head transplantation

The life expectancy of Taiwan's population is gradually extending. Because of joint wear caused by time or trauma, joint injury will eventually lead to abnormal use. At this time, only joint replacement can continue the function. A woman surnamed Yang in her fifties suffered a pelvic fracture due to a car accident, which in turn led to long and short feet and serious joint wear over time. Finally, her hip joint was reconstructed by autologous femoral head transplantation. Degenerative spondylitis caused by pelvic inclination A few years ago, a woman named Yang was involved in a serious car accident, which resulted in pelvic fracture and deformation. Afterwards, Ms. Yang lay in bed for several months, and her right pelvis did not heal well, resulting in subluxation of the hip joint, which led to obvious unequal length of lower limbs (long and short feet). However, Ms. Yang continued to work and take care of her family. With the passage of time, the tilted pelvis leads to serious wear of articular cartilage, and even the originally healthy spine suffers from degenerative spondylitis due to the tilted pelvis, resulting in the problem of simple fracture. After 3D reconstruction of hip joint, I went to Tainan Annan Hospital for examination, and found that the difference between lower limbs was more than 4 cm. Computed tomography combined with three-dimensional image reconstruction found that the original acetabulum was seriously damaged due to fracture and deformation. After preoperative evaluation, Hong Zhihong, an orthopedic surgeon, transplanted the originally cut femoral head to the acetabular defect, made a new acetabulum, and then polished it to facilitate the implantation of the artificial acetabular cup. This operation not only reconstructed the hip joint, but also restored the original length of the right lower limb. Knee joints and hip joints are easy to wear. Dr. Hong Zhihong said that the wear rate of knee joint and hip joint is more serious than other joints because they have to bear the influence of weight and daily activities. The range of motion of human hip joint is large and complex, including abduction, external rotation, adduction, internal rotation, extension and flexion. Therefore, the replacement of artificial joint is not only to reshape the joint interface, but more importantly, to provide good joint stability on the premise of maintaining normal joint activity. Autologous femoral head transplantation has many advantages. Autologous femoral head transplantation has many advantages in hip joint reconstruction, including increasing acetabular bone mass, accelerating bone healing and increasing acetabular cup stability. It also avoids infectious diseases and rejection. Dr. Hong Zhihong also found that many people can't be separated from each other after fracture trauma, which may be due to the burden of work or family, or the risk of surgery, and may cause irreversible traumatic arthritis for other reasons. Therefore, we remind you to always care about your health and friends around you, and go to the hospital for treatment and follow-up in time to protect your health.
