12 sie 2019 · We aimed to clarify the possibility of using bipolar hip arthroplasty (BHA) for degenerative diseases by examining long-term results postoperatively in 336 hips. Patients’ average age was 61.0 years (range, 34–88 years), and the average follow-up period was 12.5 years (range, 5.0–27.3 years).
The biarticular head, also called a bipolar or bicentric head, was essentially designed to reduce the friction that occurs, in the majority of cases and early on, in the acetabular cartilage upon direct contact with the metal head of an endoprosthesis in a classic hemiarthroplasty.
