Abstract
There are few reports on the outcome of uncemented HA-coated cups in young patients. I evaluated the 7-year (5-9) results of HA-coated hip prosthesis (ABG, Stryker) in a consecutive series of 65 primary arthroplasties on 56 patients (mean age 44 years). 2 patients were lost to follow-up and 3 died. The cumulative survival rate with revision for any reason as endpoint at 9 years was 98% (95% CI, 96-100) for the stem, 69% (61-77) for the acetabular metal backing, and 59% (50-67) for the polyethylene liner. 15 of 65 cups were revised on average 6 years after the primary operation and 3 more are planned. Revisions were done in 3 hips because of loosening and migration of the cup, and in 12 hips because of wear and progressive osteolysis around stable components. Only hips with migration had clinical symptoms. Visual inspection of polyethylene liners revealed wear of the articulation in all cases, loosening of the locking mechanism in 10 cases and nonarticular surface deformity in 7 hips. All original stems are in situ although femoral osteolysis was seen in 12 cases and 1 hip was reoperated because of periprosthetic traumatic fracture. Despite the high revision rate, the clinical improvement was good: the average pre- and postoperative Harris Hip Scores at the most recent follow-up were 41 and 90, respectively. While the results on the femoral side were good, the survival rates of the acetabular cups were poor and we stopped using ABG I hip prostheses.Keywords
