Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The hip function after the minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (MIS-THA) is associated with surgical techniques and post-operation functional exercise as well. 
OBJECTIVE: To observe the role of adjuvant analgesia in functional exercise after MIS-THA.
METHODS: Forty-two patients treated with MIS-THA were randomly assigned to two groups. Analgesics-assisted group orally administrated celecoxib and did early functional exercise, and the control was not treated with analgesics. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Harris scores and satisfaction to the operation in two groups were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The VAS scores of analgesics-assisted group were significantly lower than the control in 7 days after operation (P < 0.05); the Harris scores and the satisfaction rate of the analgesics group were higher than the control at 6 months after operation (P < 0.05). Celecoxib has the positive effect on the functional exercise after MISTHA and improved hip function in a short period of time.
