Bone imaging was done in patients after total replacement arthroplasty of the hip joint every 3rd month using 99mTc-HEDP and 18F. Uptake ratios were estimated over cup/normal hip and femur prosthesis/normal thigh. Ratios decline rapidly and reach a stable level 6-9 months, postoperatively. Eight cas
Calcification after total hip arthroplasty resulting in severely impaired function requiring reoperation is rare. This is a report on one patient with wide spread calcification where the patient was treated with Indometacin and the total hip exchanged.
A double-blind prospective parallel group study comparing slow-release flurbiprofen with placebo in the control of ectopic bone formation was carried out in 68 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Eight weeks after surgery there was evidence, significant at the 1% level, that the incidence an
