Introduction: Since 1979, we have been using a model of cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a titanium femoral stem, a 32 mm femoral head, and for some cases an alumina on alumina browing combination. We tried to appreciate the results of these different modifications with a sufficient follow-up.
Materials And Methods: Among the 124 THA, 63 sockets were made of alumina, 61 of polyethylen, 22 patients had deceased and 23 were lost for follow-up before seven years, we studied 72 THA followed between 7 and 9 years up.
