USE OF HELICAL COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF ACETABULAR OSTEOLYSIS AFTER TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY

Abstract
Background:Acetabular osteolysis is a major problem affecting long-term survival of total hip prostheses. Since lytic lesions may be asymptomatic until extensive bone loss has occurred, early detection of lytic lesions is important. The purposes of this study were to determine the efficacy and poten
