[Results of hip arthroplasty using Gérard's coupled, non-cemented cups. Analysis of 92 cases reviewed].

The authors have reviewed 92 cases of uncemented surface hip replacements with a minimum follow-up of 3 years. They were operated on using the Gérard technique which must be very precise to avoid devascularisation of the femoral head. 17 failures had to be operated on again. The main indications were necrosis of the femoral head and degenerative arthritis without excentration in patients aged between 50 and 60 years. In this type of patient, satisfactory results were obtained in more than 80%. It is concluded that this type of hip arthroplasty is valuable, provided there are good indications and a precise technique. It should be avoided in elderly, obese and porotic patients, in whom a total hip prosthesis is a better solution.

[Mc Kee total hip arthroplasty. A review of 1,000 cases (author's transl)].

The authors have inserted Mc Kee prostheses in 1,000 hips between 1967 and 1977. 616 were reviewed with a follow-up of more than three years. There was an overall infection rate of 2.4 p. cent and of 4.3 p. cent in cases which had previously had operations. The results were satisfactory with 84.7 p. cent giving no pain, using no sticks and with good mobility. 83 cases were reviewed with more than ten years follow-up. 3 out of 4 still have a satisfactory result. Only 14 cases had to be operated on for a second time for loosening with 11 satisfactory results. It is concluded that this type of prosthesis is valuable when compared with other types. Very little wear and no fracture of the stem was seen.
