Objectives
The purpose of the present study was to describe the long-term results of THA for ONFH in patients with SLE. From 1994–2001, 18 cementless THAs (14 SLE patients) were included in the present study. Four hips (3 patients) were lost to follow-up. The remaining 14 hips (11 patients) were available for evaluation. The mean follow-up period was 13.1(range, 10.0–16.4) years. The follow-up rate was 77.8%. The mean age at the time of surgery was 35.2 (range, 27.4–51.0) years.Objectives
