[Results of implantation of uncemented porous metal hip prostheses].
72 patients having cementless spongy-metal hip prosthesis were reexamined by clinical and radiological check up two to seven years after implantation (average 43 months). In case of five patients hip prosthesis had to be changed due to loosening (no bony ingrowth n = 2, loosening of acetabular component due to technical faults n = 3). In correlation to clinical results 88% could be considered as excellent or good, 9% acceptable and 3% as inadequate. 10% of the patients complained about thigh pain. The typical radiological bony reactions of the surrounding bone are described. An evaluation of the radiological results can only be done under consideration of the clinical problems involved. In view of the positive results obtained in the recent time the use of spongy-metal hip prosthesis can be recommended for cementless hip joint replacement in case of younger patients. Especially in case of cemented hip joints which have become loose it will be an advantage to use spongy-metal hip prosthesis.
