Long-term outcomes for cementless anatomic femoral components, compared by area of porous coating, in patients younger than 50 years treated for hip dysplasia
Journal of Arthroplasty Mar 19, 2021
Kaneuji A, Takahashi E, Fukui M, et al. - This study was sought to explore if the proximal circumferential porous coating of cementless stems would make implant survival of > 20 years possible in young patients. Researchers examined data for patients younger than 50 years with hip dysplasia who had an anatomic stem implanted with a proximal porous coating with hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate. They applied noncircumferential porous (non-C-type) stems in 17 hips (13 cases), and circumferential porous (C-type) stems were applied in 87 hips (68 cases). The results of this study exhibited that the anatomic femoral stems with a circumferential porous coating provide excellent durability in patients with hip dysplasia who are 50 years of age or younger.
