Earlier onset of AS and longer kyphotic duration were the clinical risk factors of hip joint structural changes in AS patients following PSO, while larger preoperative GK, sacral fixation in PSO and larger APPA during follow-up were the surgical-related factors. Surgeons should inform patients with risk factors of the possibility for severe hip joint structural changes after PSO.
