Popis: We retrospectively reviewed a series of 40 cementless total hip arthroplasties in 31 patients with advanced avascular necrosis. The average follow-up was 58 months (range, 24 months to 108 months). The clinical failure rate was 20% (8 hips in 7 patients). Three of 7 threaded cups failed, and 2 of 32 porous coated hemispherical cups failed. Of the 5 stem failures, 1 was due to technical error, and 4 were well ingrown porous stems that succumbed to progressive osteolysis.
