Clinical and functional outcome of primary uncemented total hip arthroplasty

Abstract

Uncemented total hip arthroplasty based on these principles will effectively bring down the morbidity and the rate of infection. Further interface pain and osteolysis are still remains as the commonest modes of failure. An uncemented total hip arthroplasty with its capability of bone stock preservation is also useful in patients requiring revision surgery. A total of 22 patients were underwent primary uncemented total hip arthroplasty by posterior approach. All the patients were contacted for clinical and radiological assessment through postal and personal communication. All 22 patients attended the review arthritis clinic on a previously provided appointment date.The mean Harris hip score improved from a preoperative mean of 37.43 (range, 28-59) to a postoperative mean of 91.33 (range, 75-99). At the latest follow up, the total mean score was 91.33, with 75 being the minimum and 99 being the maximum. The results showed a significant improvement, wherein, 25 hips (83.33%) had excellent results, 3 hips (10%) showed good results and 2 hips (6.67%) showed fair results. No poor outcome noted in the study.
