title: Femoral remodeling after porous-coated total hip arthroplasty with and without hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate coating: a prospective randomized trial.
abstract: We prospectively assessed femoral bone remodeling using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for 2 years after total hip arthroplasty. Thirty-nine hips were randomized to receive a titanium proximally porous-coated femoral component with or without hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate coating. Although both stems resulted in alterations in the periprosthetic bone mineral density, the hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate coated stems had significantly less femoral bone loss than the uncoated stems at 2-year follow-up. This reduced femoral bone loss may provide short-term and long-term advantages over noncoated stems.
