title: Long-term clinical and radiological results of the Lord total hip prosthesis. A prospective study.
abstract: We enrolled 98 patients (107 hips) with a mean age of 47 years (SD 8.6) into a prospective study of the Madreporic Lord THR; 34 hips had primary and 73 secondary osteoarthritis. After ten years, the survival rate using revision as the endpoint for failure was 70% (+/-9) for the cup and 98% (+/-0.3) for the stem. The combined clinical and radiological survival rates were 46% (+/-11) and 81% (+/-10), respectively. Osteoporosis due to stress-shielding was observed in the proximal femur. Hips with radiologically dense bone postoperatively showed the most pronounced bone loss. We recommend continued radiological follow-up of patients with this type of implant to allow revision to be performed before there is severe bony destruction of the pelvis.
