Abstract
One case, male, 37 years old, suffering from pain and restriction of joint motion of bilateral hips and shoulders was reported. Roentgenograms of bilateral hips showed marked deformity of the femoral heads due to destruction of the subchondral bone matrix. Intraosseous venography showed marked retardation of venous return. Total hip replacement (W-Huggler type) was performed on the right hip with success. Left hip will be treated with W. -Huggler total hip replacement. In microscopic observation of the excised femoral head, osteoblasts, osteoclasts and foreign body giant cells were observed. The intima of arterioles in the joint capsule showed peculiar thickening, differing from atherosclerosis.
