Abstract EN
Total hip arthroplasty has been recognized as a feasible treatment for hip osteoarthritis, especially in advanced and terminal stages, but whether it is the best treatment for patients who are younger, have comorbidities, and/or are likely to have low compliance to medical treatment is unknown.
Jiggling exercise, which involves the continuous shaking of the foot and leg in small steps, has been reported to be the easiest and a less invasive exercise for patients with hip osteoarthritis.
We herein report two patients who performed jiggling exercise as conservative treatment and had successful outcomes.
The first case was a 28-year-old woman with advanced-stage hip osteoarthritis that could not be treated with hip preservation surgery; furthermore, the patient refused to undergo total hip arthroplasty because of her young age.
The second case was a 74-year-old woman with terminal-stage hip osteoarthritis in whom total hip arthroplasty was deemed not feasible because of possible low compliance due to mental disorder.
One year after the initiation of the jiggling exercise, both patients had remarkable clinical improvement.
Three years later, remarkable joint remodelling was also revealed in plain radiographs.
Jiggling exercise might be a feasible conservative treatment option for joint preservation.
