Abstract

For primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), several fixation options are available. Cemented, cementless, or hybrid principles have been applied, and their advantages, disadvantages, and their long-term effectiveness have been well described in the literature. A recent study reported the superior survival of cemented to uncemented THA which was related to better performance of the cemented cups. On the other hand, uncemented stems have proved to perform better than cemented stems; the risk of revision was found to be similar in both implants.
