The average follow-up was 6.8 years (range: 5 to 12 years). According to the Harris hip score, 52 (98%) of the hips had sustained an excellent or good result with an average score of 92. At the time of final assessment, no patient experienced anterior thigh pain. There were two revisions performed early in the series due to technical failures. Radiographically, osteolysis and bone re-modelling were assessed. Conclusion The findings suggest that the clinical and radiographic results after cementless total hip replacement for primary hip arthroplasty may be favourably influenced by the use of the proximal stress loaded HPS femoral component.展开更多
