title: Decreased abduction strength after Charnley hip replacement without trochanteric osteotomy.
abstract: In 27 patients operated on for unilateral coxarthrosis with the Charnley hip, the muscular strength and mobility were measured. Half the cases had a trochanteric osteotomy and half an anterolateral transgluteal approach. The abduction strength was normal after trochanteric osteotomy and weaker than normal in the nonosteotomized hips.
