Fifty-four hips converted to low friction arthroplasty between 1965 and 1975 have been reviewed one to eleven years after operation. In many cases malposition had led to degenerative changes in the opposite hip, the lumbar spine or the knee, often with severe loss of function due to pain. It was found that total replacement could give useful relief of pain and improved function, though the range of movement obtained was not as good as in primary replacement. An outstanding feature was the correction of inequality of leg length. In general, the results were much better in cases of ankylosis acquired in adult life than in cases of spontaneous fusion after sepsis in childhood. The most important complication was a single case of sciatic palsy.
1965年至1975年间接受低摩擦关节成形术的54例髋关节在术后1至11年进行了复查。在许多病例中，位置不当导致对侧髋关节、腰椎或膝关节发生退行性改变，常因疼痛导致严重功能丧失。研究发现，全髋关节置换术能有效缓解疼痛并改善功能，尽管获得的活动范围不如初次置换。一个突出特点是纠正了腿长不等的问题。一般来说，成年后发生的强直性脊柱炎病例的结果比儿童期败血症后自发融合的病例要好得多。最重要的并发症是1例坐骨神经麻痹。
