Abstract:
From Jan. 1987 to May 1994, we carried out cementless total hip arthroplasties using hydroxyapatite-coated Omnifit system, and among these, 63 cases in 49 patients were followed up more than 24 months. The average Harris Hip Score was 46.3 points preoperatively, 95.4 points at POD 1 year and 96.2 points at POD 2 years. Two patients (3%) complained thigh pain at POD 2 years. On the radiologic findings, endosteal bone formation was noted in 34 cases (53,9 %), radiolucent lines were seen at the non-coating region of distal stem in 41 cases (65.3%), which were less than 2mm and not progressive. Cortical hypertrophy was noted in 5 cases (8.4%), and calcar atrophy was observed in 31 cases (49 %).
