title: Fifteen-year survivorship of a collarless, cemented, normalized femoral stem in primary hybrid total hip arthroplasty with a modified third-generation cement technique.
abstract: This prospective review aimed to evaluate 15-year survivorship of the collarless, third-generation cemented, normalized, Omnifit (Osteonics, Allendale, NJ) femoral stem in hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA). Between January 1986 and June 1990, a single surgeon prospectively implanted 250 consecutive hybrid THAs (215 patients) using a modified third-generation cement technique in selected patients. A Harris-Galante (I or II) (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) cementless shell with modular polyethylene (4150 resin) liners gamma-sterilized in air were implanted. Kaplan-Meier survivorship of the femoral or acetabular component with mechanical failure (revision for aseptic loosening) as the end-point was 100% +/- 0% at 15 years. Wear couple exchange and bone grafting was performed in 1 case (0.4%) for progressive acetabular osteolysis. This report supports femoral component centralization and good cement mantle to ensure durability of the collarless, cemented, normalized femoral stem with a surface roughness of 30-40 microinches.
