| Popis: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of cementless acetabular cups used in primary total hip arthroplasty. From November 1993 to December 1998, we implanted 403 cementless acetabular cups. Here we present a review of 160 patients (97 women) who received cementless acetabular cups with a porous-coated surface. The average postoperative follow-up period was 6 years (range, 4–8 years). The mean age of patients was 68 years for cemented stems (65 hips) and 59 for uncemented stems (95 hips). A total of 104 patients received ceramic-polyethylene components and 56 had ceramic-ceramic components. One patient presented acetabular migration and needed revision after 5 months indicating a failure rate of 0.6%. We believe that our results provides quite good perspectives for future work with this acetabular component. |
