Between 1973 and 1983, 27 @entity1 with acute @entity2249 were treated at the UCLA Medical Center with @entity572 . These cases were selected on the basis of age, high activity level, and degenerative changes in the acetabular cartilage. The average age was 72 years. There were 19 @entity1 and eight @entity1 . The average follow-up period was 3.8 years with a range of one to ten years. Methods used included analysis of clinical data, roentgenograms, final @entity158 ratings, walking ratings, and activity levels using the UCLA rating system. @entity158 relief and overall functional results were better than that of most series of acute @entity2249 treated with hemiarthroplasty and similar to that of @entity572 series. The complication rate was slightly less than both authors' elective total hip series, and considerably less than most hemiarthroplasty series. Complications included a @entity2737 , a @entity293 , and a perforated @entity17825 . Four @entity1 died within one year from causes unrelated to the hip arthroplasty. There were no deep @entity281 , dislocations, or reoperations. Total hip arthroplasty in selective cases of acute @entity2249 can give more consistent @entity158 relief and better functional results than hemiarthroplasty, without an increase in complications.
