Hip Arthroplasty of Osteoarthritis in Young Adults by Bateman UPF Prosthesis

Abstract

Ten hip arthroplasties of secondary osteoarthritis was performed on seven young adults by the Bateman UPF prosthesis. The average age of the patients at the time of surgery was 45 years, and all were female. After the operation, every patient was improved, especially with respect to pain.
We concluded that the deepening of the acetabulum in the origenal site and the use of a self-locking stem are impotant.
