About Arthrodesis Hip

Arthrodesis of the hip, also known as hip fusion, is a major orthopedic surgical procedure performed to permanently fuse the bones of the hip joint. This eliminates all motion at the joint to provide a stable, pain-free, and weight-bearing limb. It is typically considered a salvage procedure when other treatments, like hip replacement, are not suitable. The surgeon removes the damaged cartilage from the ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) of the hip joint, aligns the bones in a functional position, and uses internal hardware like plates, screws, or rods to hold them together until they grow into a single, solid unit. While it sacrifices mobility, hip arthrodesis is highly effective for relieving severe pain and restoring stability in specific, complex cases, particularly in younger, active patients with significant joint destruction.

Key Highlights

Provides a permanent solution for severe, debilitating hip pain.Creates a stable and strong joint capable of bearing full weight.Eliminates the need for future joint replacement revisions in suitable candidates.Ideal for young, active patients with joint destruction where arthroplasty may fail prematurely.Can correct significant deformity and leg length discrepancies.High long-term success rate in achieving a pain-free, functional limb./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Severe post-traumatic arthritis following complex hip fractures or dislocations.
Failed total hip arthroplasty (replacement) with extensive bone loss or infection.
Advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in young, high-demand patients.
Chronic, uncontrollable septic (infectious) arthritis of the hip.
Significant neuromuscular instability around the hip joint.
Painful hip joint destruction from conditions like avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis).
Certain cases of hip joint tumors requiring resection.

How to prepare

Comprehensive medical evaluation including blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray.
Detailed imaging studies like X-rays and CT scans to plan bone alignment and fixation.
Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the surgeon.
Pre-operative physiotherapy to strengthen surrounding muscles.
Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery.
Arranging for post-operative support and assistive devices like crutches or a walker.
Discussion with the surgeon about the optimal fused position of the leg for daily activities.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site or deep within the bone.
Failure of the bones to fuse (non-union), requiring additional surgery.
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) or pulmonary embolism.
Nerve or blood vessel damage leading to numbness, weakness, or circulation issues.
Persistent pain at the fusion site or in adjacent joints (knee, lower back).
Leg length discrepancy after fusion.
Hardware irritation, breakage, or the need for later removal.
Increased stress and accelerated arthritis in the knee and lower spine over time.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay of 3-5 days for pain management and initial mobilization.
Non-weight bearing on the operated leg for 8-12 weeks, using crutches or a walker.
Gradual progression to full weight-bearing as guided by X-ray evidence of bone healing.
Intensive physiotherapy to maintain muscle strength, mobilize other joints, and adapt gait.
Wound care to keep the incision clean and dry until fully healed.
Long-term lifestyle adaptations, including avoiding activities requiring deep hip flexion.
Regular follow-up appointments to monitor fusion progress and overall limb function.

Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
Expected recovery time: 6-9 months for full bone healing and functional adaptation

PATIENT REVIEW

James Roy, a 58-year-old construction foreman,...

James Roy, a 58-year-old construction foreman, had worked physically demanding jobs his entire life. For the past five years, he endured worsening, grinding pain in his right hip from severe post-traumatic osteoarthritis, a legacy of a fall from scaffolding a decade prior. The pain became constant, robbing him of sleep and forcing him to use a cane. Anti-inflammatories and two rounds of steroid injections provided only fleeting relief. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, explained that the joint cartilage was completely worn away, 'bone on bone.' Given James's age, activity level, and the joint's destruction, a hip replacement carried a high risk of early failure and dislocation. Dr. Chen recommended a hip arthrodesis (fusion) as the most durable solution to eliminate pain and provide a stable leg for work, though it would sacrifice all hip motion. The surgery was long and complex, involving plates and screws to fix the femur to the pelvis. The initial recovery in the hospital was tough, with significant pain managed by an epidural. James spent six weeks non-weight-bearing, wrestling with frustration and depression over his immobility and the permanence of the decision. However, by six months, walking with only a slight limp and zero hip pain, his perspective shifted. He returned to a supervisory role on-site, pain-free and stable. The emotional journey was from a fearful, pain-ridden man grieving his lost mobility to a resilient, adaptable one who found profound gratitude for the cessation of pain and the ability to work and provide for his family again, even if it meant sitting differently or tying his shoes with a long-handled tool.
