Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with ankylosing spondylitis.Surgical options, such as knee and hip replacements, can be an option for patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Surgical correction is also possible for those with severe flexion deformities, such as a severe downward curvature of the spine.
Surgery
- Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Surgery is usually reserved for selected patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Total hip arthroplasty(THA)[1][2]
- Hip involvement is seen more common in ankylosing spondylitis patients with early onset of disease.
- Total hip arthroplasty(THA) surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:[3][4]
- Severe and persistent pain that does not respond to drugs.
- Severe limitation in mobility of affected joint.
- Decreased quality of life due to hip involvement.
- THA at a mean age of 40 years shows excellent long-term results.[5]
Spinal surgery[6]
- Patients who are having flexion deformities that are severe enough to impair daily activities can undergo Wedge osteotomy.[7]
- Spinal surgeon consultation is indicated in the following
- In the event of vertebral fractures.
- Unusual neck or back pain.
