OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of the third generation cementing technique in total hip anthroplasty (THA).


METHODS
The clinical data of THA performed on 107 hips in 90 patients suffering from different kinds of orthopedic diseases, 54 males and 36 females, with an average age of 55 years and the average follow-up period of 36 months, were analyzed.


RESULTS
According to the Harris scoring system, the 90 patients achieved a score of 34 (range 4 - 78) before the operation and achieved a score of 91 (range 64 - 100) after the operation. 97.1% of the patients showed good or excellent results during the short-term follow-up.
