Mid-term results of hydroxyapatite-coated threaded cup implanted without supplementary supporting screws.

We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, radiographic, and survivorship outcomes in a series of 180 patients that underwent 204 primary Total Hip Arthroplasties with the use of a second generation threaded hydroxyapatite-coated acetabular cup that was implanted without any supplementary supporting screws. At an average follow-up period of 10.2 (range: 8-14) years, one hundred and seventy-four patients (198 cups) were available for assessment.

Cementless total hip arthroplasty for osteonecrosis of the femoral head after allogenic bone marrow transplantation.

From 1998 until 2004, we performed 26 consecutive cementless total hip arthoplasties in 15 patients who had developed advanced avascular necrosis of the femoral head after allogenic bone marrow transplantation. The average age at transplantation was 31.1 years, and the mean age at implantation was 33.

The Effectiveness of the Burch-Schneider antiprotrusio cage for acetabular bone deficiency: five to twenty-one years' follow-up.

From 1985 to 2001, the Burch-Schneider antiprotrusio cage (B-S APC) was implanted in 57 cases (55 patients) with massive acetabular deficiency. The B-S APC survived until the last review 5 to 21 years after operation in 89.5% of the cases, produced substantial pain relief, and increased range of hip motion and walking capacity.

Primary total-hip arthroplasty with the autophor 900-s fully porous coated stem in young patients seven to seventeen years of follow-up.

A total of 233 Autophor 900-S fully porous coated stems were implanted in 220 patients with an average age of 47.5 years and an average follow-up of 13.5 years.
