Background: Metal-on-metal bearing with cemented femoral component and cementless acetabular fixation is the current standard in surface replacement arthroplasty (RSA) of the hip. Because of concerns about the long-term survivorship of cemented stems in conventional hip arthroplasty, it seems logical to achieve cementless fixation on the femoral side with RSA. Questions/Purposes: The goals of this review were to evaluate clinical and radiological data reported from previously published cementless RSA series. In addition, we intend to review author’s preliminary experience with Conserve Plus cementless devices specifically assessing the clinical outcomes, the complications rate, the survivorship, and the metallic ions levels measured in follow-up.

Methods: A references search was done with PubMed using the key words “cementless

Dr. De Smet Begins Uncemented Hip Resurfacing

May 25, 2010

Dear Pat,

I indeed will start with the C plus uncemented.

I will cautiously start this and study this together with the University of Lille France.

Results only can be accepted if they are longer then 3-4 years. Nobody is there yet!! So again we have to be very cautious with results at this moment.

    What is the Best Bone Fixation Type?

    Dr. Thomas Gross 1/11/2011

    A Comparison of cement vs. bone ingrowthThomas P. Gross, M.D.

    • At 2 years of follow-up cemented and uncemented femoral resurfacing is equivalent.

    • Femoral cement failure is the most common late cause of failure in hip resurfacing (3% @ 8 years).

    • Wear-related failures with the Corin or Biomet implant systems are rare in my experience.

    • We have demonstrated that failure of bone ingrowth does not occur in a properly designed uncemented femoral resurfacing component (provided femoral neck fracture or osteonecrosis does not occur).

    • Uncemented fixation of implants in stemmed total hip replacement surgery is more durable at 10 years than cement, especially in young active patients.

    • Every patient who is a candidate for hip
