Comparison of Outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty between Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis and Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head.

CONCLUSIONS: Cementless THA showed satisfactory clinical and radiological results in both groups, despite the longer operation time, larger blood loss volume, and lower HHS score of the AS group. Our findings suggest that cementless THA is an effective and reliable treatment for both AS and AVN. PMID: 28861192 [PubMed - in process]
