Hydroxyapatite-Coated Femoral Implant in Metal-on-Metal Resurfacing Hip Arthroplasty: Minimum of Two Years Follow-Up
Section snippets
Clinical results
The mean duration of follow-up was 28.5 months (range, 24.0–37.8 months). One acetabular component was revised because of aseptic loosening, and in one case both components were revised because of infection. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that the overall survival rate of the prosthesis was 97.1% (standard of error [SE], 0.02) and the mean survival time was 37.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 35.9–38.1), whereas the survival rate of the femoral component alone was 98.6% (SE, 0.014)
Summary
The authors' preliminary results with a hydroxyapatite-coated femoral implant in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing have been promising with excellent survival rates and clinical outcomes. Longer follow-up studies are needed, particularly to interpret the clinical significance of neck thinning.
