Bone remodeling around cementless acetabular components after total hip arthroplasty has not been well characterized. A randomized, prospective study of total hip arthroplasty was performed comparing 2 cementless acetabular implants: a solid titanium and a more elastic porous tantalum design. Seventeen hips (9 porous tantalum, 8 titanium) underwent quantitative computed tomography at mean of 7.7 years, and adjacent bone mineral density (BMD) was calculated. The absolute and relative decrease in BMD from preoperative level was less in zones 9 to 15 mm adjacent to the porous tantalum compared to the titanium component (P

Background: The risk of early revision of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for polyethylene wear is now low, but there remains a need to perform wear measurements in patients for clinical surveillance. The gold standard of wear measurements has been radiostereometric analysis (RSA), which has limited availability. The use of computed tomography (CT) to perform THA wear measurement was described a decade ago and found to have acceptable accuracy and precision, but high radiation dose was a concern.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the long-term results of THA patients who received a cementless short stem regarding clinical outcomes, bone changes, complications, and incidence of femoral revision.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation of the first 100 THA employing a type 2B cementless stem (Mini hip stem, Corin, Cirencester, United Kingdom) by the same surgeon at one institution. We only include patients with 18 years or more, and with a minimum follow up of 8 years.

Background: Cementless fixation for hip arthroplasties has increased in the last decades, particularly in younger patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term results three different types of fixations in patients under 50years old.
Methods: Cemented, hybrid and cementless fixations were assessed in patients under 50years old with a minimum follow-up of 8years.

Purpose: Many treatment options are available for the revision of large acetabular defects. Debate continues as to which technique is most effective. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the rates of failure of acetabular bone defects Paprosky type III or American Academy of Orthopaedic types III-IV treated with morselized allograft in association with cemented cup or cementless cup or reinforcement devices.

Background: Trabecular metal is being increasingly used in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study compared medium-term (< 15 years) outcomes of fiber mesh titanium and trabecular metal acetabular components.
Methods: This study included 6,563 patients who underwent primary THA with either fiber mesh titanium or trabecular metal-backed acetabular components.
