The average follow-up time was 49.3 months. Results The average Harris score in the patients was 90.9 points. The excellent or good rate was 91.9%(75/85). Pain in the thigh existed in 23 hips (27.5%). The femoral osteolysis occurred in 14 hips(16.5%). The radiographical result demonstrated femoral loosening in 2 hips. harris score became lower when the femoral component of osteoarthritis of hip jointl.
