Description:
We have endeavoured to make known the results of a simple type of arthroplasty of the hip which is well tolerated even by elderly patients. It has not been the purpose of this article to compare former operations with our own, a newcomer in the field of surgery of the hip. In particular we do not wish to compare our comparatively recent results with Smith-Petersen's well-established method of cup arthroplastyâa magnificent contribution to the surgery of the region. The results we have already obtained, however, appear sufficiently favourable to merit further study and development of the method. If the future confirms the value of our early results, we shall perhaps be able to suggest operation to patients who suffer more from loss of function than from pain.
