Abstrakt: We prospectively studied 152 hips in 126 patients with a proximally porous and hydroxyapatite coated double tapered straight femoral prosthesis. The follow-up period was 4.2 to 9.6 years. All but two prostheses showed osseo-integration. The mean Harris hip score (HHS) increased from 40 to 92 points and 97% of the patients had no or only mild pain. Limping and the use of walking aids decreased substantially after the operation. The morphology of positive bone remodelling with either endosteal bone formation or periosteal bone formation was correlated with the stem fit in the medullary canal (p=0.0001). Negative bone remodelling features could not be demonstrated. There was no correlation between the clinical parameters and the radiological phenomena. (Hip International 2002; 4: 345-56).
