A simple method of hip arthrodesis. 1986

C A Mowery, and J A Houkom, and J W Roach, and D H Sutherland

A technique of intraarticular hip arthrodesis using a cancellous screw to provide compression across the joint is introduced. We present four patients in whom this method was successful, resulting in solid fusion and pain relief at follow-up.
