title: Stanmore total hip replacement. A 15- to 16-year clinical and radiographic follow-up.
abstract: In 1988 we reported a ten-year review of 83 surviving patients from a group of 135 (146 prostheses) who had undergone primary hip replacement using the Stanmore prosthesis. We have now reviewed 44 of these patients at 15 to 16 years. Four patients had undergone revision, but the other 40 were all satisfied with the result of their hip replacement, 36 having little or no pain. Functional activities had decreased, but were still adequate for their average age of 81 years. There had been definite migration of the cup and/or femoral component in three hips, wear of the cup in ten and resorption of the calcar in six. Of the 24 hips inserted with radiopaque cement, eight showed an increase in radiolucent lines at the acetabular interface. The cumulative survival rate of the prosthesis was 91% at 15 to 16 years.
