Abstract
Joint replacement of the hip or knee for osteonecrosis was performed on 24 joints since 1973. The results in general were good, and no significant complications occurred. With the increasing longevity of these patients, as a Monk prosthesis without the use of cement, which can at a later day be changed to a formal total hip replacement with cement, is recommended in young people. The fear of complications was unfounded and joint replacement, where indicated, seems a reasonably safe procedure in renal transplant patients.
