title: Long-term results of bilateral Charnley total hip arthroplasty.
abstract: 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.
