Abstract
From September 1987 until January 1994 the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register recorded 5,021 primary total hip replacements performed with uncemented acetabular components. We compared the survival until revision for aseptic loosening of the cup, in the 11 commonest types (n 4,352). The overall cumulative revision rate for the acetabular components was 3.2% after 5 years and 7.1 YO after 6 years, with large differences among the designs. With the hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated cups and the hemispheric porous-coated cups, the failure rate was less than 0.1 YO. Of the unthreaded hemispheric porous-coated cups, Harris-Galante and Gemini (n 626), none had been revised, and of the HA-coated cups, Atoll and Tropic (n 1,943), only 1 had been revised. For the threaded uncoated metal-backed cups, the results varied from no revisions of the PM cups (n 148) to a cumulative 6-year revision rate of 21 YO for the Ti-Fit (n 300). The all-polyethylene Endler cups (n 334) had a cumulative revision rate of 14%. Women and patients with inflammatory arthritis had poorer results. However, the type and the design of the cups were of far greater importance for the results than patient-related factors.Keywords
