Eighty-four patients had 97 total hip replacement procedures. Standard Müller components were used in the first 40 operations; the Aufranc-Turner acetabular component was used with the Müller-femoral component in the final 57 procedures. The trochanter was detached only in exceptional circumstances. Seventy-six patients with 87 replacements were followed up for 12 to 34 months. Complications, occasionally multiple, occurred in more than one third of our patients; thromboembolic disease was the most frequent. No significant wound complications occurred; there was no infection. In 71 replacements the results were excellent; in 15, good; and in 1 fair.
