Tight fit technique in primary hybrid total hip arthroplasty for patients with hip dysplasia.

摘要

This article presents the midterm results of hybrid total hip arthroplasty for patients with hip dysplasia by use of a tight fit technique for the femoral component. We followed up 113 hips in 99 patients for a mean of 11 years. All final femoral rasps used in this study overrasped by 0.5 to 1.0 mm for stem insertion, resulting in relatively thin cement mantles. Both components of one hip were removed because of infection. The other 5 acetabular components were revised for osteolysis, recurrent dislocation, or dislodgement of the polyethylene liner. No femoral component was revised for aseptic loosening. We conclude that the tight fit technique using a canal-filling stem may produce good long-term results for patients with hip dysplasia.
