Quality and reproducibility of French publications on total hip arthroplasty

Abstract

The few studies published in French include only a limited number of cases, but their follow-up is long and the revision rate consistent with register data. There is no indication of any type of bias in French scientific publications relative to the reproducibility of THA results.

The Outcome of 241 Charnley Total Hip Arthroplasties Performed by One Surgeon 30 to 40Years Ago

“…Only the Charnley LFA with cement has a longer follow-up, with reported series with a minimum 25 [28,29], and 30 [3][4][5] years (Table 4) results. As cemented techniques, including Charnley LFA, are still in use in many countries [30][31][32][33][34][35][36], reports with such long-term results of THA using cement for fixation could be of interest for a large portion of orthopaedics. In our series of LFA of the 241 studied hips, 52 (22%) retained the original implant for 30 or more years (Fig.…”
