Long-term analysis of a series of cases of hip replacement depending on access and type of arthroplasty

Abstract

Objective: to compare long-term results of total hip replacement according to approach and type of fi xation (cemented, uncemented). Materials and methods: the outcomes of 39 total hip replacement were estimated for the fi rst time aft er 5-6 years and for the second time aft er 11-15 years aft er the treatment. they have been compared by Bartel, Harris and WOMAC scores. Results: Kaplan-Meyer and descriptive statistics applied to get validated results. Conclusions: received data demonstrated durable positive functional results while Keggy’s approach has been used. Cemented fi xation and hybrid prostheses have longer survival rate than cementless devices.
