Popis: | INTRODUCTION Cementless hip arthroplasty is not completely satisfactory--even with macroporous structured surface. Medium term results are sometimes disappointing because of insufficient secondary stability. Thus our aim was to improve fixation by additional coating with hydroxyapatite. METHODS 200 consecutive patients who had hydroxyapatite-coated cementless hip replacement with a macroporous hip prosthesis (09/92-03/96) were studied prospectively. All patients were included in a prospective follow up schedule according to the criteria of Johnston et al. As measure of clinical outcome we calculated Harris Hip Score as well as Enghs Score to assess radiologic fixation and stability. RESULTS 91% could be followed up regularly. No revision because of aseptic loosening had to be done. Analysis of clinical results showed almost painless patients from early after the operation--especially no thigh pain. Average HHS after 2 years was 97. Radiological evaluation showed early and complete osteointegration of all components. According to Engh-Score they are stable and well fixed. CONCLUSION HA coated macroporous implants provide some striking advantages, which encouraged us to continue with this system. By early and secure bony ingrowth a fibrous interface is avoided and thereby also long-lasting thigh pain. |
