Abstract
We report the retrospective analysis of 716 cases of Duofit total hip arthroplasty performed from 1994 to 2005. Since 2004, both standard and lateralized stems were used, while previously only the standard type was available. The results show a low occurrence of complications and a good medium-to long-term survival. The good functional outcome, measured with the Harris hip score, confirms the validity of the prosthetic design and materials.
