Abstract
Cementless stem is popular in Europe and gave excellent results. It was developed in hope that biological in growth would increase the longevity of the implant. In this report, we present a review of 35 cases (in 30 patients) of uncemented total hip arthroplasty performed in Al-Kadhimia hospital between 2003-2008. These patients were followed up for a period of 1.5 to 3 years .The etiology consisted mainly of secondary osteoarthritis due to avascular necrosis (23 cases), ankylosing spondylitis(2 cases),post-traumatic osteoarthritis(10 cases) .The average age of the patients at the time of arthroplasty was ( 41) years (21-65 years). The average period of follow up was 1.9 years. Harris hip score improved from less than (72) to an average of( 94) .Anterior thigh pain developed in one patient (2.8%) , Trendelenberg gait in (3) patients (8.5%), no patient developed subsidence of femoral stem, one patient developed grade one heterotrophic calcification (2.8%) and calcar atrophy in (3) patients (8.5%) and no loosening of either acetabular or femoral components was observed. Varus movement in the femoral stem observed in mild degree in two patients (5.7 %). Early results of uncemented total hip replacement are encouraging, however further long term results are essential to determine the longevity of such implant.
