Abstract
The performance of a total hip prosthesis is considered in terms of reliability. The causes requiring removal of the prosthesis are considered and methods of avoiding these difficulties are outlined. It is pointed out that most attention must be focused on the areas of low reliability. The goal of increasing prosthesis lifetime must be shared between the surgeon and manufacturer.Keywords
