Abstrakt: Background: Little scientific evidence exists on blood loss and transfusion rates depending on the fixation technique. The hypothesis of this study was that the blood loss and transfusion rate are lower in cemented and hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA) compared to cementless THA. Methods: We retrospectively compared a total of 1500 patients who received either cementless, cemented, hybrid or reverse hybrid THA. All patients underwent THA in 2021 at a single orthopedic center in Germany. Results: The lowest blood loss was found in patients who received a fully cemented THA (695 ± 74 ml). Hybrid THA with a cemented stem showed a blood loss of 845 ± 30 ml and reverse hybrid THA showed the highest blood loss with an average of 994 ± 74 ml. Cementless THA caused an average blood loss of 957 ± 16 ml. There was a significant difference between cementless THA, hybrid THA (cemented stem), and fully cemented THA (p < 0.05). Transfusion rates ranged from 1.3% (cementless THA) to 7.9% (cemented THA) between the groups with a transfusion rate of 2.5% overall. Conclusion: We found significantly lower blood loss in cemented THA and hybrid THA compared to cementless THA. Although blood loss was lower in cemented and hybrid THA, this did not result in lower transfusion rates. This could be due to other confounders such as age, comorbidities, and preoperative anemia.
