Between 1986 and 1991, 68 Harris-Galante femoral prostheses were implanted in 63 patients. 53 patients (57 hips) attended for follow-up after a mean of 3.4 (2-6) years. The average Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 39 preoperatively and 81 postoperatively. Only 34 hips were excellent (27) or good (7). Mid-thigh pain occurred in 30 cases. 10 femoral components were radiographically loose because of osteolysis. Although 7 cups seemed to be radiographically loose, they probably played only a minor role in the poor overall early clinical results.Downloads
