The classic: functional results of hip arthroplasty with acrylic prosthesis. 1954.

This Classic article is a reprint of the original work by R. Merle d’Aubigné and M. Postel, Functional Results of Hip Arthroplasty with Acrylic Prosthesis.

[Long-term results of condylar reconstruction using patella as vascularized graft].

Purpose Of The Study: In 1966, R. Merle d'Aubigné published 4 cases of unicondylar destructions (due to trauma or tumor) reconstructed with the patella replacing the joint surface. Since this time the same technique has been used in 6 other cases.

[Hip arthrodeses for septic arthritis. Critical study].

Twenty-eight cases of septic arthritis of the hip were treated by arthrodesis and reviewed after 2 years. Fusion of the hip was obtained in only 11 cases, four of which were still draining but healed after removal of metallic devices and curettage. Five cases had an acceptable result without drainage despite incomplete fusion.
