Long-term results of Charnley low-friction arthroplasty of the hip.
The long-term results of 73 Charnley low-friction arthroplasties with follow-up of 10-14 years are presented. Eight hips required revision for socket migration resulting from excessive medialisation of the cup (2, 2.7%); breakage of the femoral stem (5, 6.8%); and loosening (1). A further 5 hips had radiological changes suggesting that they would require revision in the foreseeable future. Sixty hips (82.2%) remained clinically excellent with minimal radiological changes.
