Figure 5 Survival plots for patients with stage II and stage III disease.
Within the 5-year follow up period, 4 patients with osteonecrosis treated with tantalum rod were converted to total hip arthroplasty. One patient had Steinberg stage II disease and 3 patients had Steinberg stage III disease. Patients with stage III disease had increased risk to undergo total hip arthroplasty. The difference was statistically significant (P = 0.04).
