[The surgical treatment of degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the hip joint].

An analysis of long-term results of surgical treatment of 609 patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the hip-joint was made. Choice of the optimum methods of surgical treatment of such patients must be based on the prognosis of effectiveness of the operative intervention taking into account general regularities associated with the degree of the arthrosis alterations, dyscongruence of the articulation surfaces and duration of the disease, the degree of disturbances of the femur head blood supply, the disturbed supporting ability and severity of the trauma. When choosing the method of surgical treatment of young patients with coxarthrosis the operative interventions aimed at saving the hip joint should be considered.
