From 1974 to 1991, two hundred and sixty-four cases of hip replacement were performed. These cases composed of 150 cases of artificial femoral head prosthesis replacement and 114 cases of total hip replacement. Fifteen cases were revised after the first replacement in 7.4 years average (5-16 years). The revision rate was 5.7%. The causes of revision were loose or subside of prosthesis, wear and tear of acetabulum, dislocation of artificial hip joint, etc, which caused pain and dysfunction.
