Routine prophylactic antibiotic(cefazolin sodium) was administered before surgery and 48 h after surgery; anticoagulation with dicumarin was given: 5 mg orally the night before surgery and daily for a duration of 3 months after surgery. Physical therapy was commenced on the first or second day after surgery. Tough weight-bearing with crutches for 6 weeks was allowed for uncomplicated cases. Progression to full weight-bearing as tolerated was allowed after 6 weeks
