We have studied aseptic loosening of the femoral component in 76 patients with primary total hip replacement using the Capital prosthesis. The mean follow-up was 26 months (10 to 37). Twelve femoral components (16%) were definitely and eight (10%) were possibly loose. They were characterised by a thin cement mantle (p0.001) and excessive residual cancellous bone in the proximomedial region (p0.01). We recommend that the cement mantle around the prosthesis should be 2 to 3 mm and that further long-term studies are needed to evaluate the wear properties of titanium-nitride-coated titanium femoral heads. |
