Total hip replacement for the following: severe hip pain and disability due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, nonunion of previous fractures of the femur; congenital hip dysplasia, protrusion acetabuli, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, disability due to previous fusion, previously failed endoprostheses and/or total hip components in the affected extremity, and acute femoral neck fractures.
Hemi-hip replacement for the following: fracture dislocation of the hip, elderly, debilitated patients when a total hip replacement is contraindicated, irreducible fractures in which adequate fixation cannot be obtained, certain high subcapital fractures and comminuted fractures, secondary avascular necrosis of the femoral head, pathological fractures of the femoral neck, and osteoarthritis in which the femoral head is primarily affected.
