Fifty-four hips converted to low friction arthroplasty between 1965 and 1975 have been reviewed one to eleven years after operation. In many cases malposition had led to degenerative changes in the opposite hip, the lumbar spine or the knee, often with severe loss of function due to pain. It was found that total replacement could give useful relief of pain and improved function, though the rang...

conversion of knee arthrodesis to total knee arthroplasty is a difficult procedure accompanied by many complications due to soft tissue and extensor mechanism contracture and bone defects. we report two cases of distal femur osteosarcoma that had been undergone wide resection arthrodesis initially. arthrodesis was converted to total knee arthroplasty with hinged prosthesis after many years. we ...
متن کاملCharnley low-friction arthroplasty in diabetic patients.
A retrospective study of 44 diabetic patients who, between them, had 62 Charnley low-friction arthroplasties, showed a superficial-infection rate of 9.7 per cent and a deep-infection rate of 5.6 per cent. All the operations were carried out in the Charnley clear-air enclosure and prophylactic antibiotics were not used. A statistically significant increase in the overall rate of infection was fo...
متن کاملCharnley low-friction arthroplasty: survival patterns to 38 years.
We studied survival to 38 years after Charnley low-friction arthroplasty of the hip. We used revision as an end-point, while adopting a policy of regular follow-up and early revision for radiological changes alone if indicated. Between November 1962 and June 2005, 22,066 primary low-friction arthroplasties (17,409 patients) had been performed at Wrightington Hospital by more than 330 surgeons. ...
