Total hip arthroplasty with a collarless, tapered, fiber metal proximally coated femoral stem: minimum 5-year follow-up.
Journal of Arthroplasty 2009 June
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the midterm results, osteointegration potential, and implant-related complications of a cementless, collarless, proximally coated, distally tapered femoral hip prosthesis. The clinical and radiographic results for 129 hips in 116 patients after total hip arthroplasty with a Fiber Metal Taper (Zimmer, Inc ,Warsaw, Ind) femoral stem are reported. One hundred twenty-two (95%) hips were available for the minimum of 5 years clinical and radiographic follow-up. The mean duration of follow-up was 81 months (range, 60-104 months). The mean Harris hip score improved from 44 to 92 at the most recent follow-up. All femoral components were clinically stable with radiographic evidence of bone ingrowth. There has been no evidence of subsidence greater than 2 mm, no significant thigh pain, and no femoral revisions for any reason. Total hip arthroplasty with the Fiber Metal Taper stem demonstrates good clinical and radiographic results at midterm follow-up.
