FEMORO-ISCHIAL TRANSPLANTATION

David M. Bosworth M.D.1

1 NEW YORK, N. Y.

The operative procedure described could be used in securing ankylosis in instances of old suppurative arthritis of the hip, aseptic necrosis, and ununited traumatic lesions, where ankylosis is desirable but difficult to secure, as well as for cases of tuberculous hip disease.

Femoro-ischial transplantation gives the same cosmetic, weight-bearing, and functional result (seated posture) as ankylosis of the hip joint.
