Total hip prosthesis: real and apparent dislocation.

Abstract

Asymmetry of the femoral head within the acetabular cup shown in an antero-posterior radiograph of the hip is an indication of dislocation of the prosthesis after a Charnley-Müller procedure. However, this rule does not apply to modifications such as the Aufranc-Turner prosthesis.

[Total hip joint endoprosthesis in osteopetrosis].

Albers-Schönberg disease (osteopetrosis) is a rare condition, and it very seldom occurs that a patient requiring a hip endoprosthesis is also suffering from this disease. The report describes the difficulties which may confront a surgeon unprepared for such a case and the author illustrates the problem taking the case history of a 46-year-old patient with X-rays and histological tests as an example. The reasons for implantation of either a cemented or cementless endoprosthesis are discussed.
