The exact measurement of femoral head cover is essential for an assessment of reduction of congenital dislocation of the
There are many studies of long-term recovery from major joint arthroplasty, but little is known about the first days and weeks after operation. We measured function, emotional state and life evaluation before arthroplasty and at seven and 50 days after in a consecutive series of 40
We retrospectively reviewed 56 patients (71 hips) treated by total replacement for severe disability after pelvic irradiation. Symptoms were associated with various radiological lesions due to irradiation, including atraumatic femoral-neck fracture, osteonecrosis of the femoral head or of the acetabulum, and radiation osteitis of the whole pelvis. From 1970 to 1982 we used standard cemented components in 49

been described. These studies used different definitions and reference
planes to compare methods, allowing for misinterpretation of the
results. We compared the reliability and accuracy of five current
methods using plain radiographs (those of Lewinnek, Widmer, Liaw,
