Abstract
In a clinical and radiological follow up 64 Lord-endoprotheses could b e controlled after a meantime of 8.5 years. The positive judgement of the patients, which is caused by the reduction of pain, is in contrast to the poor improvement of gait and mobility. Radiological findings a re suspicious for a higher rate of loosening of the cup and fractures of the shaft.
