[Total joint surfact replacement in the hip joint. Preliminary communication].
A method of joint surface replacement for the operative correction of severe osteoarthrosis of the hip joint is described. This type of surface replacement has obvious advantages especially in the younger age group. From experience with homogenous carilage transplants in which only the joint cartilage surfaces are transplanted, the method described offers hope of good results. The important advantage of surface replacement is the fact that the substance of the neck and head of femur are not removed. Therefore all alternative future procedures remain available if necessary. Accurate assessment of this method will require more prolonged follow up.
