Purpose
The collum femoris preserving (CFP) uncemented prosthesis has a bone-preserving, high subcapital neck resection and a short anatomical stem. The ideal arthroplasty option in the younger, active patient is a subject of some debate. We evaluated midterm outcomes of the CFP in this patient population.
Methods
A prospective, consecutive cohort of 75 CFP total hip replacement (THR) patients with a mean age of 52 years was followed for a mean of 9.3 years. Patients were assessed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS). Pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and activity levels using the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score. Radiographs were evaluated for evidence of loosening. Survivorship was calculated with an endpoint of revision for aseptic loosening or radiographic evidence of loosening.
Results
Mean HHS improved from a mean of 50 pre-operatively to 91 (p < 0.001) postoperatively. Mean pain score was 1, mean patient satisfaction was 9 and mean UCLA score was 6. Two acetabular components were revised for aseptic loosening; no stem required revision. Radiographically, no cases had evidence of loosening. Survivorship was 96.8 % for the acetabular component and 100 % for the stem at ten years. Three patients died from unrelated causes, and five were lost to follow-up.
Conclusions
Bone-preserving hip replacement has increased in popularity as hip replacement in younger and more active individuals increases. The CFP prosthesis has excellent midterm clinical function and survival and provides high levels of satisfaction in young patients.
