Abstract: BACKGROUND: Dislocation of the prosthesis after total hip replacement is one of the most important factors that limit the life of the prosthesis, which brings huge physical pain and economic burden to the patient. Studies have found that lumbar fusion is the most important independent risk factor for prosthesis dislocation after total hip arthroplasty. Exploring the reasons for the dislocation and proposing treatment options have always been an important topic for joint surgeons.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze and review the reasons for the increased dislocation rate of the prosthesis after total hip replacement in patients with a history of lumbar fusion surgery and the treatment plan by studying the sagittal plane of the lumbar spine and pelvis.
METHODS: The Chinese key words were “lumbar fusion; total hip replacement; pelvic sagittal plane; impingement; dislocation” and the English key words were “lumbar fusion; total hip replacement; pelvic sagittal plane; impingement; dislocation”. After searching the articles published from 2016 to 2020 in Wanfang, CNKI, and PubMed databases, 39 articles were finally included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The reason for the increased prosthesis dislocation rate of patients with a history of lumbar fusion surgery and undergoing total hip replacement is impingement, and the most economical and effective way to study impact is the sagittal X-ray of the lumbar pelvis. (2) After lumbar fusion, the lumbar spine affects the sagittal plane of pelvis through balance and mobility, increasing impact risk: the lumbar spine is severely unbalanced, causing the pelvis to tilt backward and the acetabulum to be vertical, increasing the risk of impact; stiffness of the lumbar spine leads to decreased pelvic mobility and increased hip joint mobility, which increases the risk of impact. (3) The relationship between the sagittal plane of lumbar spine, pelvis and hip joint has a wide range of applications.

Key words: lumbar fusion, total hip replacement, pelvic sagittal plane, impingement, dislocation
