title: [Hydroxylapatite-coated total prosthesis of the hip].
abstract: Since 1987, 80 hydroxyapatite-coated (HA) cementless total hip prostheses have been implanted. Thirty patients were examined 21 months postoperatively and the results compared with data for uncoated prosthesis. Earlier mobilization and freedom from pain, together with evidence of bone ingrowth without connective tissue membrane formation, confirmed the benefits of HA-coated prostheses.
