title: [Mortality after regular implantations of total hip prostheses].
abstract: Operative and post operative (two months) mortality among 1280 patients undergoing total hip replacement is studied. Mortality rate was 1%. The main cause is pulmonary embolism, then mental deterioration and anaesthesia. Use of methylmethacrylate did not cause death. Rheumatoid arthritis could increase the risk.
