Total Hip Replacement in Severe Sequelae of Its Injury

Abstract

Experience of the orthopaedic and trauma clinic of the Moscow Regional Scientific Research Clinical Institute in large joints replacement is presented. Hip replacement was performed to 458 patients with sequelae of the joint injury. Depending on the severity of hip joint injury all patients were subdivided into 2 groups. In the first group of patients joint replacement was performed by standard technique, in the second group of patients certain technical modifications were required. Use of special implant constructions and methods to supplement standard techniques was considered in relation to concrete anatomic and functional changes. The results of large joints replacement were successful in 96% of cases with maximum observation period of 21 years.
