Total hip replacement in two patients with Paget's disease.
Two patients suffering from Paget's disease, involving the hip joint, with pain and limitation of movement, were treated by total hip replacement. The operative course was normal and without excessive bleeding. At follow-up five years later, the patients are free of pain, and have almost complete range of motion; there is no sign of prosthetic loosening.
