Abstract:
6 cases of idopathic asceptic necrosis of femoral head were experienced at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. Age distribution ranged from 19 to 58 years and the ratio of sex was 3:3. Two of them had bilateral involvement of necrosis of femoral head. Two of them were primarily treated by means of arthrotomy, joint debridement and drilling of the necrotic area. Symptoms only temporarily relieved and required further surgical procedure. As a whole, arthrodesis in 2, cup arthroplasty in 1, Austin-Moor hip prosthesis in 2 and total hip prosthesis, McKee-Farrar type, in 1 case were performed. Four of the mobile operation of the hip restored satisfactory range of hip motions despite the types of surgery.
