title: Osteoblastic response to osteoarthrosis of the hip does not predict outcome of cementless cup fixation: 79 patients followed for 5-11 years.
abstract: We evaluated the influence of osteoblastic response to osteoarthrosis of the hip on the outcome of cementless acetabular cup after 91 total hip replacements in 79 patients. Of the 91 hips, 23 were atrophic, 37 normotrophic, and 31 hypertrophic, according to Bombelli's criteria. There were no clinical or radiographic differences among the three groups at the final follow-up (average 7 (5-11) years), when stable bone growth had been achieved by all of the acetabular cups in patients with the atrophic type, 35/37 of the normotrophic type, and all the hypertrophic type. Revision of the acetabular cup was performed on 1 hip of the normotrophic type, in connection with severe polyethylene liner wear and progressive osteolysis.
