Background Little is known about the survival of total hip arthroplasty implants with bioactive
coatings beyond the first 20 years. The authors aimed to report survival of a tapered hip stem …

Background Both modular and monoblock tapered fluted titanium (TFT) stems have gained
popularity over fully porous-coated cylindrical (FPCC) femoral stem designs, but limited data …

INTRODUCTION: Although cemented implants have proven beneficial over uncemented
implants for treatment of displaced sub-capital proximal femoral fractures, there are …

Background The purpose of the present study was to update and report clinical outcomes
and survival of primary total hip arthroplasty using a cementless double-tapered titanium …

Background Varus inclination of the uncemented stem is not necessarily a technical error.
The proximal femoral anatomy of hips with a coxa vara deformity frequently predisposes …

National Institute of Clinical Excellence guidelines state that cemented stems with an
Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP) rating of> 3B should be used for …

Background With the growing number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures performed,
revision surgery is also proportionately increasing, resulting in greater health care …

Background: Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated stem has been introduced to decrease
complications and eventually achieve quicker implant ingrowth and long-term stability. The …

Method: A series of 459 consecutive patients (May 2006-June 2009) treated with a JRI
hemiarthroplasty with a minimum of one-year (1-4years) follow-up were evaluated. Data …

Background To reduce costs of orthopedic implants, the government decided to standardize
implants used across different specialties in a group of hospitals located in the same …
