Abstract

Two-hundred fifty implantations of a cemented femoral stem made of titanium alloy in 239 patients were followed for 9.7 years (range 8.7–10.3 years). Eighty-nine patients with 93 hips have died and two could not be located. Five hips have been revised, two for infection, one for aseptic loosening and two during revision of the cup. Three stems showed radiological loosening but have not been revised. The average hip score was 85. The results are encouraging and comparable to other cemented femoral stems.

Résumé

250 implantations d'une tige fémorale cimentée en alliage de titane chez 239 malades ont été suivies pendant 9.7 années (8.7–10.3 années). 89 malades avec 93 prothèses sont morts et deux sont perdus de vue. Cinq hanches ont été révisées, deux pour infection, une pour descellement aseptique et deux pour une révision de la cupule acétabulaire. Trois tiges ont présentés un descellement radiologique mais n'ont pas été reprises. Le score moyen était de 85. Les résultats sont encourageant set comparables à ceux des autres tiges fémorales cimentées.
