Abstract

We present the longest follow-up of a Smith-Petersen mould arthroplasty ever to be reported in Thailand. The patient was pain-free for 47 years after the surgery and eventually required the revision. There was neither osteolysis nor soft tissue reaction to a Vitallium cup after its long usage.
