VITALLIUM-CUP ARTHROPLASTY OF THE HIP JOINT

Review of Approximately One Hundred Cases

Alexander Gibson F.R.C.S. (Eng.)1

1 WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA

1. Vitallium-cup arthroplasty offers good prospects of relief from pain and increased movement in cases of osteo-arthritis of the hip joint.

2. The "posterior" approach affords excellent exposure with little trauma.

3. Graded exercises in all directions are valuable for rehabilitation.

4. The procedure has not been found suitable in cases of tuberculosis, Marie-Strümpell disease, or sloping of the acetabular roof.
