Abstract

A retrospective study of 32 bipolar hip arthroplasties performed for avascular necrosis of the femoral head in 27 patients. Average age at the time of operation was 41.1 years, and average follow-up period was 2.6 years. Using a Harris hip score rating system, the results were excellent in fourteen hips, good in seven, fair in five, and poor in six hips. Fourteen hips had residual pain despite a satisfactory rating. One hip required revision. The factor affecting the results is cement usage.
