Eleven-Year Results of the Anatomic Coated CFP Stem in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty
Section snippets
Demographic Data
All patients, treated with a total hip arthroplasty, using the femoral neck preserving prosthesis in the authors´ institution between January 1999 and December 2000, were enrolled in this study. Information about the patients’ medical history, age, gender and surgical indication was obtained from the patients’ medical records.
During this time period, a total of 149 patients were treated using the CFP stem prosthesis (Fig. 1). Five patients died and 27 patients were lost to follow-up and were
Results
After a mean follow-up time period of 11.2 years (range 9.3–14.5), 117 patients were available for follow-up. The mean HHS increased in a statistically significant fashion from 53 to 93 (range 53–98).
Overall, revision surgery was required in 11 patients (9.4%). In five cases (4.3%) the exact indication for the implant revision remained unclear (these patients were operated on in other hospitals). In five cases (4.3%), implant-associated complications occurred, to our best knowledge (Fig. 3).
Discussion
A previous study by the current authors related to the survivorship and complication rate of this femoral neck preserving prosthesis demonstrated promising results after a mean follow-up time period of six years. This is the first larger patient cohort study of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty using the cementless CFP prosthesis with a follow-up time period of over 11 years. The overall implant-associated survival rate was 95.7%, in the current investigators’ consecutive series, which
