Abstract
IntroductionThe aim was to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes in patients with high hip dislocation operated with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy and uncemented total hip arthroplasty. MethodsSixty-five hips operated in 1986–2001, at mean age 48 years (15–79), were followed for mean 19 years (13–30). ResultsAt last follow up, there were two femoral and 35 acetabular revisions. Harris hip score was mean 86 (81–90) in unrevised, and 87 (82–90) in revised hips. ConclusionsOur study shows favorable long-term results for a fully hydroxyapatite (HA) coated stem. Aseptic cup-loosening may be reduced by using better implants.
