Neuromuscular or vascular condition in one or the other lower extremity 3. Immobilization postoperative for long periods, for instance because of other serious diseases, alloplasties of the other lower-extremity joint, etc (decided by investigator) 4. Reoperation of affected hip because of 4.1 luxation (with closed or open reduction) 4.2 deep infection 4.3 fracture 4.4 aseptic loosening 4.5 other 5.

Psychological instability (including patient in treatment lithium/antidepressants/neuroleptics/ antipsychotic drugs) which the investigator feels would weaken compliance
