title: A new cemented femoral stem: a prospective study of the Stryker accolade C with 2- to 5-year follow-up.
abstract: This prospective study evaluates the short-term results of a recently released cemented femoral stem design in primary cemented and hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA). There were 100 all-cemented and 100 hybrid THAs in the 2-year study group. Good to excellent results were obtained in 96%. There was one reoperation for recurrent dislocation in each cohort (1%) and one single-staged reoperation for sepsis in the cemented cohort. There were 47 THA available for 5-year follow-up. Good to excellent results were maintained in 98%. One additional patient had a revision because of late recurrent dislocation. This study has demonstrated excellent early results and safety with this cemented femoral stem. The features include a dual-wedge geometry with a 0.88-microm Ra surface roughness, proximal macro-normalizations, distal anti-rotation grooves, and an optimized head-and-neck ratio approaching 4:1 using a standard 28-mm head.
