Cementless total hip arthroplasty in young Chinese patients: a comparison of 2 different prostheses

J Arthroplasty. 2001 Oct;16(7):863-70. doi: 10.1054/arth.2001.25505.

Abstract

Sixty-one primary cementless total hip arthroplasties were performed in 45 Chinese patients <40 years old. There were 27 Anatomic Medullary Locking (AML, Depuy, Warsaw, IN) prostheses and 34 Porous Coated Anatomic (PCA, Howmedica, Rutherford, NJ) prostheses. The average follow-up was 7.6 years (range, 3-11 years). Ten hips (16%) were reoperated; the reason was polyethylene wear with or without osteolysis in 7 hips. Osteolytic lesion was present in 34 hips (56%). The cumulative successful rate at 10 years was 67% using reoperation for any reason as the endpoint. The cumulative successful rate was 98%, however, if revision for aseptic loosening was used as the endpoint. The 2 prostheses did not show significant differences in most parameters except that the PCA hips had significantly more acetabular loosening (P =.02) and periprosthetic osteolysis (P =.01).
