 January, 2010

Uncemented femoral components for metal on metal total hip resurfacing have shown excellent results during the initial 3 years that I have been using this new technology. The early results that I have achieved in 0ver 800 cases since March 2007 are equivalent to the early results that I achieved with the same brand cemented femoral
component.

Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing with hybrid fixation has been introduced as an alternative to standard total hip arthroplasty, especially for young and active patients. There are few studies in the literature on the midterm results of cementless femoral side resurfacing. The purpose of this study was to present our seven-year clinical results of … Read the rest
