J Korean Hip Soc 21(3): 232-237, 2009 Original Article Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Large Femoral Head : The Short-Term Follow-up Results and the Early Complications Myung-Rae Cho, MD, Se-Sik Kim, MD, Hyun-Seop Lee, MD Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, School of Medicine, Catholic University of Daegu, Daegu, Korea Purpose: This study evaluated the short-term follow-up results after total hip arthroplasty with using a 36 mm large femoral head. Materials and Methods: Between August 2004 and August 2007, 104 patients were treated with total hip arthroplasties using a 36 mm-cobalt-chrome femoral head with Longevity (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) as the polyethylene liner. The average age at the time of the index operation was 61.4 years (range: 23 to 87 years), and the mean follow-up period was 27 months (range: 18 to 46 months). The clinical results and early complications after the operation were analyzed. Results: The Harris Hip Scores were more than Good in all cases with an average score of 93, and the Merle d Aubigne and Postel scores were more than Good in 75% of the patients. All the femoral stems that were cemented or cementless had satisfactory fixation. Dislocation developed in one case and only one time, and there were no other complications during the follow-up period Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty with using a 36 mm large femoral head is a recommendable treatment with a low dislocation rate and high satisfaction, which comes from the lack of restriction of the postoperative hip position and movement.

No dislocation developed during the follow-up period. 수술후초기의추시가필요하다고판단되어본연구를하였으며현재까지발생한증례는적지만폴레에틸렌의변연부골절, 또한대퇴골두의크기증가로인한폴레에틸렌두께감소로야기될수있는마모문제, 새로운폴리에틸렌을인체내에서장기간사용할때에마모율에대한문제등은좀더많은연구가필요하리라판단된다. 결 큰대퇴골두를이용한인공고관절전치환술후초기추시결과에서는환자의고관절자세나운동에제한을두지않아환자의만족도가높았고, 탈구의빈도도 1% 이하로낮아권장할만한수술방법이라판단되지만대퇴골두의크기증가로인한폴리에틸렌의마모및마찰력증가로인한삽입물의이완등에대해서는중장기추시가필요하리라판단된다. 론 REFERENCES 01.
