Primary hybrid total hip arthroplasty: an interim followup.
The senior authors' initial experience with primary hybrid hip replacement in patients with osteoarthritis was studied to evaluate the efficacy of the procedure. Hybrid total hip arthroplasty (uncemented Harris-Galante acetabular component and cemented Iowa precoated femoral component) was performed in 131 consecutive, nonselected hips in 118 patients with the diagnosis of primary osteoarthritis. Followup was performed at 8 to 9 years after the procedure. The average age at the time of the procedure was 68 years (range, 45-87 years). There were 50 men (55 hips) and 68 women (76 hips). At final followup 19 patients (22 hips) had died. The femoral component had been revised for aseptic loosening in 8 hips (6.1%). One additional hip showed definite radiographic loosening. Hence, the prevalence of radiographic femoral failure was 6.9% (9 hips). No acetabular component had been revised for aseptic loosening and no acetabular component had migrated. The senior author continues to perform hybrid total hip arthroplasty in all patients with primary osteoarthritis. However, design modifications have been made in the femoral component that is used.
