Abstract

Artificial joint replacement is a procedure performed relatively often in modern orthopaedic surgery. An estimated total of 65,000 patients annually in the U.S.A. (1), for example, and probably about an equal number in the rest of the world, receive total hip replacement (THR) for relief of pain and restoration of function. Most of these patients are over 60 years of age, and have severe osteoarthritis of the hip. Smaller groups suffer from post-traumatic conditions, rheumatoid arthritis or other disorders. Very few are younger than 50. THR represents major surgery, which is very successful as a treatment of severe disorders of the hip, both from the point of view of immediate post-operative pain relief and restoration of function, as well as its long-term results (1).
