General remarks–Comparison of the two reviews shows that patients with good results return more readily for a review than those with poor results. In middle-aged patients with some disability for walking an attendance of 80 per cent at least is necessary in order to obtain a representative follow-up five to ten years after operation. An outstanding feature of all the operations reviewed is the degree of lasting relief of pain. It is rare to find that a patient with severe hip pain before operation has pain of the same severity after any of these operations at least up to ten years afterwards, and probably for much longer. Generally speaking, although in advancing years stiffness of the

Between January 1984 and January 1986, 131 porous-coated anatomic total hip replacements were performed in 119 consecutive patients. Of these, 100 patients (110 hips) who were alive at a minimum of 18 years after replacement were included in the study. The mean age of the patients at surgery was 48.4 years and that of surviving patients at the latest follow-up was 67.8 years. The mean duration of the clinical and radiological follow-up was 19.4 years (18 to 20). The mean Harris
We studied 1061 children with myelomeningocele, reviewing 3184 pelvic radiographs from 802 patients. Hip dislocation had occurred by the age of 11 years in 28% of children with a thoracic neurosegmental level, 30% of those with an L1/2 level, 36% of L3, 22% of L4, 7% of L5 and only 1% of those with sacral levels.
