[Durom hip resurfacing arthroplasty: first clinical experiences with a lateral approach].
INTRODUCTION: We present the first clinical and radiographic results of the Durom Hip Resurfacing prosthesis with a lateral approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 52 patients (n = 59 protheses) with a mean follow-up of 25.4 +/- 10 month were evaluated. Clinical evaluation was done using the Harris hip score (HHS), a modified University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Level Scale and the Merle d'Aubigné Score pre- and postoperatively. Radiographic evaluation included the preoperative femoral neck-shaft angle, the pre- and postoperative femoral offset, the postoperative stem-shaft angle as well as postoperative periprosthetic radiolucencies.
RESULTS: Within the clinical follow-up the postoperative mean HHS (93 +/- 4.3 vs. 41.2 +/- 7.1 points), the modified UCLA (8.8 +/- 2.8 vs. 4.8 +/- 1.9) as well as the Merle d'Aubigné Score (17.1 +/- 1.7 vs. 7.5 +/- 2.1) indicated a significant improvement (p
CONCLUSION: The Durom Hip Resurfacing prosthesis is a promising alternative for the young and active patient. The real medical and economical benefit has to be evaluated in further examinations.
