title: 3M integral bipolar cup system for dysplastic osteoarthritis. Clinical and radiographic review with five- to seven-year follow-up.
abstract: Between 1995 and 1997 we undertook 40 bipolar hip arthroplasties in 35 patients with dysplastic osteoarthritis. The steep and shallow acetabulum was excavated and the bipolar socket was placed high with an adjustment of leg-length. At follow-up of between five and seven years, there were 19 excellent, 16 good and five fair results according to the scoring system of Merle d'Aubigné and Postel. The mean radiographic superior migration of the bipolar socket was 2.1 mm (0 to 10). Osteolysis was noted in three hips within three years of the operation. Abduction on weight-bearing was recorded in 24 hips and the bipolar system was found to be functioning predominantly between the inner bearing and the metal femoral head in 20.
