Abstract

We present an 81-year-old male who underwent a direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a ceramic-on-ceramic bearing in 1986. Amazingly, the patient kept meticulous logbooks of his many athletic endeavors, which were tallied after 35 years in 2020. These included 20,797 miles of running, 2323 miles of swimming, 66,349 miles of bicycling, and at least 25,500 miles of walking, amounting to more than 114,969 miles of physical activity. As the average age of patients who undergo index THA decreases, the debate regarding physical activity recommendations after THA has become increasingly relevant for patients, but this topic is inadequately studied and thus remains an unanswered question.

115,000英里和计数：历史性的全髋关节置换术后的非凡运动，39年随访

我们报告一位81岁的男性患者于1986年接受了直接前路全髋关节置换术（THA）与陶瓷对陶瓷轴承。令人惊讶的是，这位患者对他的许多运动经历都做了细致的记录，这些记录在35年后的2020年被记录下来。其中包括20,797英里的跑步，2323英里的游泳，66,349英里的骑自行车，以及至少25,500英里的步行，总共超过114,969英里的身体活动。随着接受指数全髋关节置换术的患者平均年龄的降低，关于全髋关节置换术后体力活动建议的争论与患者越来越相关，但这一主题研究不足，因此仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。
