  • Title: Total hip replacement as a salvage in traumatic lesions about the hip.
    Author: Welch RB, Taylor LW, Wynne G.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1975 May; 140(5):708-14. PubMed ID: 1145405.
    Abstract:
    One hundred and eight total hip replacements have been accomplished in an attempt to salvage a problem caused by trauma. Many times, patients with traumatic arthritic problems have a quick transition from a normal existence to a severe disability. They may not have had the ability physically or mentally to handle this disability seen in patients with rheumatoid disease or idiopathic osteoarthritis. It has been shown that these patients with total joint replacement can be rehabilitated to almost a normal degree of function. Complications occur, but with careful planning and execution, they can be held to a minimum. In the long run, a high incidence of degenerative disease is seen in these problems. The primary procedure should not be done so as to jeopardize a secondary reconstruction.
