ABSTRACT
[Objective]Primarily discuss cases selection and operation skill of hip joint superficial substitution.[Method]From Oct.2004 to Feb.2007,10 hip joints of 8 cases were made superficial substitution,paying attention on cases selection and operation skill.[Result]All cases had no such complications as femur neck fracture,infection,joint dislocation,vessel or nerve injury,deep vein embolism or ectopic ossification in early stage.The patients' score increased to 93~99 and average 95 from 35~56 and 45 before operation,the unequal limbs were corrected for DDH cases.On X-ray measurement:40?~50?for acetabula abduction angle,44?in average;134?~143?,139?for short-handle eversion angle of femur lateral;average off-set rate was 0.20 for femur neck;no loose prosthesis or narrow femur neck,no bright zone around short-handle.[Conclusion]Hip joint superficial substitution is very fit for young people with much sports,but we should pay attention to case selection and operation skill.
