ABSTRACT
This study was performed on 31 cemented total hip arthroplasty in 25 renal transplant recipients. The average follow up was 48 months [range 6-66 months]. Total hip arthroplasty relieved pain and improved function in all patients. The average preoperative Harris hip score was 34 +/- 9.46 points which improved to 94 +/- 4.32 points after surgery. At the end of follow up, there were 64.52% excellent and 35.48% good results, there were no fair or poor results in this study. One case had dislocation, one case with grade II myositis ossificans and two cases with suspected cup loosening. The overall complications rate of this group were parallel to those in young patients who had hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. There were no reported complications with the renal allograft either intra or postoperatively
