title: [Intrapelvic migration of a total hip prosthesis in rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: The authors discuss the risk of mechanical loosening and protrusion of a cemented endoprosthesis of the hip joint after operation which is one of the few possibilities of palliative treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They deal in particular with specific features of surgical approaches whereby they select a modified method described by Eftekhar which makes it possible to resolve even severe grades of intrapelvic migration of the socket of a total endoprosthesis. The authors discuss possible complications which can be prevented if the relationship of intrapelvic structures to the protruded prosthesis is elucidated before operation. In a group of 1268 patients operated there were three with intrapelvic migration of a total endoprosthesis of the hip joint.
