Hip arthrodesis has been performed for coxitis tuberculosa and a part of osteoarthritis of the hip. It is an excellent procedure which results in a durable, painless, stable hip. But, after operation, the patient will be influenced on his contralateral hip joint, ipsilateral knee joint and lumbar spine. Then we placed femoral head prosthesis for hip joint. Next we performed high tibial osteotomy for his knee joint.
The patient was a 49 years all female. At 19 years she was diagnosed coxitis tuberculosa. At 26 years, she underwent arthrodesis of right hip joint. In June of 1982, she underwent femoral head prosthesis (Bateman type). After about a month, she underwent high tibial osteotomy. At present she had a restricted motion of the involved hip and a slight discrepancy of leg length. But, she returned to light work and is satisfied with the operation.
