title: The Basis CL cemented femoral stem: results after 8.9 years follow-up.
abstract: This prospective study was conducted to demonstrate that the matte-finish Basis CL cemented endoprosthetic stem delivers good qualitative results after 10 years. Between January and December 1999, 205 consecutive hips (201 patients; 74.5 ± 6.8 years at surgery) underwent primary total hip arthroplasty with the Basis CL and the same acetabular cup (RM Classic cup) at a single institution. Follow-up data at 10 years was available for 120 hips (average follow-up of 8.9 years, ±2.9). Mean Harris Hip Score improved from 39.5 ± 16.8 at baseline to 75.9 ± 16.7 at 10-year follow-up (p<0.001). Four hips required revision during the study: three for infection and one for pain. There were no cases of aseptic loosening, implant migration, or stem fracture. Cumulative survival at 10 years was 97.4% with the endpoint of revision for any reason. In conclusion, results with the matte-finish cemented Basis CL indicated that it was safe and effective after medium-term follow-up.
