From the joint registry of 2831 primary total hip arthroplasties (2351 patients) performed between 1998 and 2003, we identified 15 patients (16 hips) who had a documented history of substance abuse disorders at the time of the index surgery. The patients included 13 men (14 hips) and 2 women (2 hips), with the mean age of 49 years (range, 29-65 years). On the basis of the criteria specified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, 13 patients had alcohol abuse disorders, 1 had amphetamine abuse disorder, and 1 had heroin abuse disorder. We found high rates of postoperative substance withdrawal delirium and psychosis (46%), late complication (25%), and lost to follow-up (27%) in these patients. Because patients with substance abuse disorders have unexpected perioperative psychotic episodes, poor compliance, and a tendency to not follow medical advice after surgery and show early discontinuation of follow-up, we suggest that surgeons should work with other medical professionals and carefully perform total hip arthroplasty in such patients.
从 1998 年至 2003 年进行的 2831 例初次全髋关节置换术(2351 例患者)的联合注册中心中,我们确定了 15 例(16 髋)在指数手术时存在药物滥用障碍病史的患者。这些患者包括 13 名男性(14 髋)和 2 名女性(2 髋),平均年龄为 49 岁(范围为 29-65 岁)。根据《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第四版的规定,13 名患者患有酒精滥用障碍,1 名患者患有安非他命滥用障碍,1 名患者患有海洛因滥用障碍。我们发现这些患者术后物质戒断谵妄和精神病的发生率很高(46%),晚期并发症(25%)和失访(27%)。由于患有药物滥用障碍的患者在围手术期会出现意外的精神病发作、不遵守医嘱和术后不遵循医疗建议的倾向,并且早期停止随访,因此我们建议外科医生应与其他医疗专业人员合作,在这些患者中仔细进行全髋关节置换术。
