Long-term results of bilateral Charnley total hip arthroplasty.
The results of 58 bilateral Charnley total hip arthroplasties in 29 patients operated on were assessed at an average of 62 and 145 months after operation (5-year and 10-year follow-up evaluations). At the 5-year follow-up evaluation, 96% of the available hips were graded as clinically successful. At 10 years, 94% of the successes at 5 years were again thus graded. All clinical failures (4) were caused by fracture of the stem.
