Endurance and Future of Total Hip Replacement: 10 Years of Experience

Abstract

The Authors have revaluated 613 primary THA implants performed in a ten year period from 1982 to 1992, with respect to age, gender, diagnosis, kind of prosthesis, surgical and fixation technique. In this group, considering the failure of THA with exchange of one or both prosthetic components or permanent prosthesis extraction, 19 THA were revised.
