Total Hip Arthroplasty for Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Mid-term Follow-Up in Patients From Northern India
Our current observational study, which included 84 patients and 111 hips affected by osteonecrosis of the femoral head, examined the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty using metal on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene liners. The results showed excellent clinical and radiological outcomes at a mean follow-up period of 4.8 years, particularly in younger patients with a mean age of 37.05 years.
