title: [The initial findings in 50 cases of the cementless hip prosthesis].
abstract: The authors, after putting forth several biomechanical premises, discuss their experience in total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a PCA-type press fit cementless prosthesis with partial Madreporic covering. Several cases which demonstrate the versatility of this type of replacement are discussed in depth. Even though the short follow-up precludes definitive conclusions, use of cementless total hip replacements must be considered a valid option in the future, especially in cases of early onset of hip pathology.
