Abstract

Introduction

This report is the first study to compare the clinical outcomes between cementless and cemented femoral prostheses in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy for Crowe type IV hips.

Materials and methods

We identified 26 hips in 20 patients who had undergone cemented (n = 13) or cementless (n = 13) THA with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy for Crowe type IV hips with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. The mean follow-up period was 60.8 ± 33.9 months (24–120 months). We compared radiological findings, postoperative clinical recoveries, postoperative complications, and implant survival rates.

Results

In both groups, there were no cases of aseptic loosening for the acetabular and femoral implant. In terms of bone union at the osteotomy site, the mean duration was significantly longer in the cemented group (9.8 ± 4.2 months) than in the cementless group (5.0 ± 1.9 months). The clinical hip score in gait and pain at 3 months postoperatively was significantly higher in the cemented group than in the cementless group, while there were no significant changes at other timepoints between two groups. The number of postoperative complications was not significantly different between the two groups. The implant survival rate was 92% in the cementless group and 100% in the cemented group at 5 years postoperatively (P = 0.31).

Conclusions

The cemented femoral prosthesis is superior to the cementless femoral prosthesis for early clinical recovery, while the duration required to achieve bone union at the osteotomy site is longer in the cemented femoral prostheses. It is possible for surgeons to perform successful hip reconstructions, regardless of the fixation method used for THA with shortening femoral osteotomy.
