    Author: Low CK, Lai CH, Low YP.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 1991 Dec; 32(6):391-2. PubMed ID: 1788594.
    Abstract:
    Ten total hip replacements were performed between 1 June 1984 and 31 May 1989 in 6 patients who had systemic lupus erythematosus. All had avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The mean age at operation was 31.2 years with a range of 21 - 41 years. The mean follow-up period was 3.9 years with a range of 1.75 to 6.25 years. Mayo clinical hip ratings were excellent for all but one hip. Complications included transient sciatic nerve palsy in one hip and aseptic loosening of the femoral component in another.
