The surgical procedures of transferring the greater trochanter laterally or muscle release were added in only 3 cases on another sides of affected hips. Our results at an average follow-up of 2 years and 2 months were clinically and radiologically evaluated according to JOA score and 4 departments of orthopaedic surgery in Japan. All the patients who were treated with THR were satisfactory to operative results.
