OPTIMIZATION OF SURGICAL TREATMENT TACTICS FOR PATIENTS WITH HIP-SPINE SYNDROME: A CLINICAL CASE

Abstract

Coexisting hip osteoarthritis (OA) and lumbar spinal stenosis (central and foraminal) and/or spondylolisthesis is called a hip-spine syndrome (HSS). The central problem is correctly diagnosing and determining the tactics of surgical or medical treatment for patients with HSS. The paper describes a clinical case of a female patient with HSS and an examination algorithm for determining the significance of peripheral neuropathy and hip OA and discusses the choice of surgical treatment tactics.
