Abstract
From 1967 to 1975 a total of 1322 hip replacement operations in 1157 patients was carried out in the Orthopaedic Hospital, University of Heidelberg. The mortality rate, as evaluated by modern methods of medical statistics, was 5.7%. The risk of fatality must be one of the main factors influencing the surgeon when considering whether to offer hip replacement to an aged patient. 1157 Patienten wurden zwischen 1967–1975 in der Orthopädischen Universitätsklinik Heidelberg 1322mal mit endoprothetischem Hüftgelenkersatz versorgt. Ihre Letalitätsquote, mit den modernen Methoden der Medizinstatistik untersucht, betrug 5,7%. Die Analyse ergab, daß das Problem der Operationsindikation beim Hochbetagten auch in der Chirurgie der Hüfte primär thanatogenetisch zu betrachten ware.Keywords
