Six adolescent patients with 10 severely arthritic hips underwent total hip arthroplasty to regain mobility. Significant intraoperative complications, including difficult intubations, excessive blood loss, and poor fitting components, were encountered. At an average of 7 years 11 months after surgery, 33% of the acetabular components had been revised for symptomatic loosening. In spite of the high failure rates, the psychological and social benefits of improved mobility were substantial.
六名患有10个严重关节炎髋关节的青少年患者接受了全髋关节置换术以恢复活动能力。术中出现了严重并发症，包括插管困难、失血过多和假体组件匹配不良。术后平均7年11个月时，33%的髋臼组件因出现症状性松动而进行了翻修。尽管失败率很高，但活动能力改善所带来的心理和社会效益是巨大的。
