Total hip arthroplasty with a cementless acetabular component and a cemented femoral component in the treatment of Chinese patients with femoral head necrosis.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate midterm clinical and radiographic outcomes associated with hybrid total hip arthroplasty in a consecutive series of 86 Chinese patients (93 hips) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head, which revealed that the mean Harris hip score increased from 39 +/- 6.0 points before operation to 90.4 +/- 4.6 points at the latest follow-up. There was pelvic osteolysis in one hip (1%), which required revision, and some small focal areas of femoral osteolysis in 12 hips (13%) were observed. The mean linear wear rate was 0.143 +/- 0.05 mm/y (0.02-0.45 mm/y). No loosening of the components was observed radiographically. The survival rate of the acetabular and femoral components for revision was 98% (95% confidence interval, 0.96-1.0) and 100% (95% confidence interval, 0.95-1.0). Hybrid total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head had a satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcome at a minimum 5 years of follow-up. Because polyethylene wear and osteolysis cannot be avoided, the long-term effect should be further studied.
