Between 1963 and 1973, 49 cases of osteoarthrosis of the hip joint have been treated surgically at our clinic.
35 patients (39 hips) out of 49 had been clinically followed up to 10 years after surgery.
5 patients out of 35 was excluded in this series as they have already been reported as undergone total hip replacement.
This operative methods employed in this series were subtrochanteric and interochanteric osteotomy in 12 and 3 cases respectively, release operation in 8 cases, arthroplasty in 2 cases, arthrodesis in 3 cases and bone transplantation in 2 cases.
24 patients satisfied with the result, and the others unsatisfied.
