Abstract
Idiopathic necrosis of the femoral head is generally considered to be a rare disease, the etiology is unknown, it is usually progressive and once collapse of the femoral head develops, joint destruction almost invariably follows.
We have treated three patients with idiopathic necrosis of the femoral head, using an Omnifit HA coated stem. The patients were a 58 years-old male, a 29 years-old female and a 58 years-old female. After surgery, all patients showed a marked improvement as an early clinical outcome. They quickly returned to their jobs and social life.
