SURGICAL TREATMENT OF PAINFUL HIPS OF ADULTS

Ralph K. Ghormley M.D.1 and Mark B. Coventry M.D.1

1 Section on Orthopaedic Surgery, The Mayo Clinic, Rochester

The operation most certain to relieve pain in cases of painful hips is arthrodesis. Less certain relief of pain, but preservation of motion, will follow the use of cup arthroplasty. Acetabuloplasty offers a less certain means of treatment, but it has a definite place in certain types of cases, particularly among elderly patients. Drilling operations are indicated only in the earliest stages of hypertrophic arthritis of the hip joint.
