Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) mostly occurs in adolescent patients, mainly involving the spine, sacroiliac joint, and hip joint. If the early treatment is not in time, further progression of the disease can lead to stiffness or rigidity of the hip joint. The disability rate is high, and total hip arthroplasty (THA) is eventually performed in the end stage. How to stop the progression of the disease and avoid hip arthroplasty is an important issue that has not been resolved today.
