Abstract:
The writers performed Sbarbaro type total hip replacement arthroplasty on two cases with degenerative arthriris of both hips complicated by avascular necrosis of the femoral head. In each case, the procedure was carried out on the worse hip, while in one case a standard femoral head prosthesis was inserted to the less severely involved hip. The Sbarbaro type prosthesis consists of a modified Austin Moore head component and an acetabular cup with tynes that fix the metal to the acetabulum and does not require the use of cement. The initial results in both cases, evaluated by the method of D'Aubigne and Postel, are as follows; Grade 5 for pain(pain both slight or intermittent), Grade 5 for motion(very good or 161 to 210 degrees), and Grade 5 for ability to walk(very good; no cane or crutch but a slight limp).
