Summary

A prospective study of 62 total hip replacements performed between February 1970 and December 1972 in 50 patients was carried out. The results were assessed according to the Asaf Harofe Hip Evaluation System. There were excellent and good results in 89% of hips. Failures occured in 11% and were due to individual cases of loosening of the femoral component, loosening of the acetabular cup, painful hip in a man with angina pectoris, sciatic causalgia and limited hip motion. In 22% of patients thrombo-embolic episodes were diagnosed. No deaths, deep infections or dislocations occured.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde eine Nachuntersuchungsstudie über 62 Hüfttotalendoprothesen, die zwischen Februar 1970 und Dezember 1972 bei 50 Patienten implantiert worden waren, durchgeführt. Bei den verwendeten Endoprothesentypen handelt es sich um 44 Endoprothesen vom Typ Charnley, um 11 vom Typ Müller und um 7 des Typs McKee-Farrar. Die Ergebnisse wurden nach dem Asaf Harofe-Hüftbewertungssystem ausgewertet. Dabei ergaben sich bei 89% der Endoprothesen hervorragende und gute Ergebnisse. Schlechte Ergebnisse lagen bei 11% der implantierten Prothesen vor und waren auf einzelne Fälle von Stiellockerungen, Pfannenlockerungen, Schmerzen im Hüftbereich, Ischiasbeschwerden und eingeschränkte Hüftbeweglichkeit verteilt. Bei 22% der Patienten liefen thrombo-embolische Prozesse ab. Todesfälle, tiefe Infektionen oder Luxationen traten nicht auf.
