Abstract

The aims of the Tharies replacement are to preserve bone stock and provide a more physiological and anatomical replacement using eccentic shells with the hope that long term durability will be improved. 8 cases of THARIES replacement performed between 1981 and 1983 at Hanyang UniversityHospital were reviewed and analyzed by radiography and U.C.L.A. hip rating system. Follow-up ranged from 34 to 54 months and averaged 43.3 months. The result was relatively good in 6 cases except two cases of aseptic loosening without further progression.
