Abstract
|
|
|
We performed twenty the cementless total hip arthroplasties(THA) on seventeen patients, all of whom were diagnosed with steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the hip(AVN).
The average age of the patients was 41 years, mean follow-up period was 41 months(24-74months). The final a average Harris hip score was 94 and overall results were excellent. On radiographic evaluation, 17 femoral component met the criteria for
bone
ingrowth(spot weld) but it was somewhat delayed. There was no evidence of loosening of the femoral and acetabular components. The results delayed. There was no evidence of loosening of the femoral and acetabular components. The results of this
study
suggest that long term steriod treatment dose not prevent bone ingrowth. Cementless total hip arthroplasty appears to be a reasonable therapeutic option for steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the hip.
