Abstract
We performed 114 consecutive primary total hip arthroplasties with a cementless expansion acetabular component in 101 patients for advanced osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The mean age of the patients at surgery was 51 years (36 to 62) and the mean length of follow-up was 110 months (84 to 129). The mean pre-operative Harris hip score of 47 points improved to 93 points at final follow-up. The polyethylene liner was exchanged in two hips during this period and one broken acetabular component was revised. The mean linear wear rate of polyethylene was 0.07 mm/year and peri-acetabular osteolysis was seen in two hips (1.9%). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the survival of the acetabular component without revision was 97.8% (95% confidence interval 0.956 to 1.000) at ten years. Our study has shown that the results of THA with a cementless expansion acetabular component and an alumina-polyethylene bearing surface are good.Keywords
