[Total endoprosthesis of the hip joint].

The authors analyse the results of operations for total endoprosthetics of the hip joint in 22 patients subjected earlier to different surgical interventions on the same joint. The observation period lasted from 6 months to 10 years. Good results were obtained in 86,41%, satisfactory--in 4,5% and unsatisfactory--in 9,09% of cases. The complex preparation of such patients before the operation, specific course of the operation itself and of the postoperative period are described.
