Hip-spine syndrome：pathological base and biomechanics mechanism / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Low back pain in patients with hip osteoarthritis can be relieved to some extent after total hip arthroplasty, indicating the changes in limb line of force have obvious effects on low back pain. OBJECTIVE:To review and analysis the pathological base and biomechanics mechanism of hip-spine syndrome. METHODS: We retrieved PubMed database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for related articles published from January 1976 to March 2015. The key words were “low back pain, hip-spine syndrome, hip osteoarthritis, total hip replacement, biomechanics, balance parameters” in English and Chinese, respectively. Repeated studies and unrelated articles were excluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 145 articles were retrieved, and finaly 62 articles were enroled in result analysis. In the pathophysiology, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and matrix metaloproteinases play a significant role in the occurrence and development of hip-spine syndrome. As for the biological biomechanics, the spine-pelvic-lower limb balance compensatory process can be the main mechanical mechanism of hip-spine syndrome, and the balance parameters can provide a basis for the diagnosis, treatment and postoperative evaluation of hip-spine syndrome.
