Thirteen total hip replacements in 8 patients with ankylosing spondylitis are reviewed. Complications of the disease which can lead to anaesthetic difficulties are discussed, and the importance of a preoperative visit and the value of indirect laryngoscopy emphasized. As intubation problems may occur, especially in undiagnosed cases, equipment for emergency intubation should always be readily available. The results fully justify the operation.
回顾了8例强直性脊柱炎患者的13例全髋关节置换术。讨论了该疾病可能导致麻醉困难的并发症，强调了术前访视的重要性以及间接喉镜检查的价值。由于可能会出现插管问题，尤其是在未确诊的病例中，紧急插管设备应随时可用。结果充分证明了该手术的合理性。
