Abstract 

A series of total hip replacements was performed using a proximally porous coated, tapered femoral stem system. At a mean follow-up of 8.1 (5–13) years, 80 out of 107 hips were available for clinical and radiological examination. The mean age at the index procedurewas 58.6 years. The mean Harris Hip Score at final follow-up was 91.7. Radiological ingrowth was observed in 77 femoral stems, 2 stems were fibrous stable and 1 stem was loose.

Résumé

 Nous avons realisé une étude rétrospective comprenant 80/107 prothèses totale de la hanche en utilisant une tige fémorale avec fixation proximale non- cimentée. L`age moyen des patients lors de l`intervention était de 58.6 ans. La durée moyenne d`observation post-opératoire était de 8.1 ans. Le score de Harris lors du dernier examen clinique était de 91.7. Une incorporation radiologique idéale était observée dans 77 tiges, 2 tiges étaient stables et 1 tige était descellée.
