Outcome after cementless total hip arthroplasty for arthritic hip in patients with residual poliomyelitis: a case series.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the overall result itself is excellent, THA for these patients cannot improve limp, physical activity and mental status. Surgeons should be aware of the change of the inclination of acetabular cup during mobilisation, especially for THA in contralateral hip. PMID: 27229169 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
