title: Hybrid total hip replacement. A 6.5-year follow-up study.
abstract: We have reviewed 97 consecutive primary hip replacements with a cemented femoral component and a porous-ingrowth acetabular component at a minimum five-year follow-up (average 6.5 years). The average Harris hip score was 93, and 85 hips had no pain or only slight pain. There had been no deterioration in the results since the two-year follow-up. The hybrid hip is successful for up to eight years and appears to be suitable for many patients. Long-term femoral fixation has been shown to improve with second-generation cementing techniques and in this series was excellent with third-generation techniques, in that only one stem was revised for loosening. No cementless acetabular component was revised for loosening.
