Stanmore total hip replacement. A nine- to ten-year follow-up.
Between February 1975 and August 1976, 195 total hip replacements using Stanmore components were performed; of these, 146 were in 135 patients who had not had previous hip surgery. At review 52 had died, but none of the others was lost to follow-up. Of the 52, two had had a second operation, one for infection and one for recurrent dislocation. In the remaining 83 patients (92 hips) five revisions were necessary: four for aseptic loosening, and one for stem fracture. The remaining 78 patients had little or no pain and little restriction of activity. After a follow-up period of at least nine years, the survival rate of the prosthesis was 95%. There had been migration of the femoral component in five cases and migration of the acetabular cup in one case, but no wear of the acetabular component could be demonstrated.
