Cementless total hip arthroplasty with PCA prosthesis.
Eighty-one cases of cementless porous-coated total hip arthroplasties in 74 patients were analyzed. Hip rating scores as described by Harris were used, and AP and lateral radiographs were made serially: preoperatively, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. The average postoperative hip rating score was 91 points (range: 76 to 100 points) at 1 year and 93 points (range: 74 to 100 points) at 2 years. The overall clinical results were satisfactory in these patients at both 2 and 4 years. However, slight to mild thigh pain was observed in 16 (19.8%) of 81 hips at 2 years, and 10 (21.3%) of 47 hips at 4 years postoperatively. Moderate to severe limp was seen in 11 (13.6%) of 81 hips at 2 years and seven (14.9%) of 47 hips at 4 years postoperatively.
