The aim of this study was to investigate the predisposing factors, fracture location, treatment, and final outcome of femoral fractures after total hip arthroplasty (THA). From 1975 to 1983, 28 patients were seen with 29 fractures on the same side as the prosthesis. Most of the fractures were caused
The biomechanics of the hip joint provide an understanding of the development, evolution, and treatment of many disabling conditions of this joint. The available methods of biomechanical analysis include in vitro studies, in vivo studies, and theoretical mathematic analyses. The information obtained
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
