RADIOGRAPHIC BONE CHANGES AT THE HIP AFTER INSERTION OF AN ACRYLIC PROSTHESIS



Download PDF

Abstract

1. Radiographic changes in bone structure which follow the insertion of an unplasticised acrylic prosthesis of the Judet type are described.

2. Technical details of the operation and their relation to these changes are discussed.

3. Although the period of observation is short it is suggested that after initial loosening the prosthesis becomes stabilised owing to local bone reaction.
