Abstract

Total hip replacement, with a prosthesis replacing both the acetabular socket and the femoral head, has been developed during the last decade and is now being used extensively. Its major advantage is rapid rehabilitation of the patient, particularly when both the femorsl head and the acetabulum are diseased. Nine Cases of total hip replacements were performed at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital from January 1972 to March 1976. Although the follow-up (range 4 months to 3 years) in the majority is too short to permit a complete assessment of the results, in our series, most patients presented for surgical treatment for the relief a pain and mobility has been complete.
