Arthopor 2 acetabular component with screw fixation in primary hip arthroplasty: a 7- to 9-year follow-up study.
Journal of Arthroplasty 1998 April
The first 100 consecutive primary hip arthroplasties with the Arthopor 2 acetabular component (Joint Medical Products, Stamford, CT) with supplemental screw fixation performed by the senior author were prospectively studied. The mean patient age was 57 years. Seventy-seven cemented and 23 cementless stems were placed, with 32-mm femoral heads used in most of the patients. Eighty-six hips were reviewed at 7-8.8 years (mean, 7.8 years). The mean Harris hip score at final follow-up evaluation was 94 points. No cups have been revised, although 2 cups in patients with radiation osteonecrosis were loose radiographically. One patient underwent revision of a severely worn liner. Despite a relatively high mean linear wear rate of 0.27 mm/y (range, 0.13-0.57 mm/y), no radiographic evidence of pelvic osteolysis was seen. The Arthopor 2 cup performed well with respect to pelvic osteolysis, despite the presence of substantial polyethylene debris. The relatively high polyethylene wear rate is attributed in part to the younger patient population and the use of 32-mm femoral heads paired with thin polyethylene liners.
