Abstract
In a matched-pair study of primary total hip arthroplasty, 45 all-polyethylene cemented acetabular components were compared with 45 cementless, hemispheric, titanium acetabular components. At 9 to 12 years, 1 of the cemented acetabular components was revised for aseptic loosening, and 14 (31%) were radiographically loose. Nine (20%) cemented acetabular components had pelvic osteolysis. In the cementless acetabular component group, 2 well-fixed components were revised. No components were radiographically loose, and 3 (7%) had pelvic osteolysis. Thirty-eight (97%) of the patients in each group were satisfied with the surgery. The clinical results of the cemented and cementless components were excellent. The cementless components had less loosening (P < .001) than the cemented components.
