Objective:
To present initial experience of the first 71 cases of cementless total hip replacement in Al Razi Hospital.
Subject And Methods:
Between 1996 and 2004, total hip replacement was performed in 71 patients (40 male, 31 female, average age 40.7 years, range 17-74) using Zweymüller cementless prosthesis. The patients were followed clinically and radiologically over an average period of 36 months (range 6-84). The results were assessed according to Merle d'Aubigne clinical score. Radiological assessment included position of the implant, behavior of the prosthesis/bone interface and signs of osteointegration.
Results:
Average clinical score during the 3 years' follow-up period was 17.8 points. Most of the implants were in optimal positions. No significant radiological modifications of the implant-bone interface were observed.
Conclusion:
Zweymüller total hip prosthesis gives excellent clinical and radiological results in short-term follow-up.
