title: Clinical results from the calcitite-coated press fit APR hip system.
abstract: Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated APR Total Hip Replacement was found to be superior to a press-fit only control group in a randomized trial. This study confirms the importance of biologic fixation for durability of total hip replacement as compared with press-fit fixation only.
