The Euroform cemented hip stem, made of titanium alloy, shows good mid-term survival. This study found a low revision rate for aseptic femoral loosening, indicating favorable clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Medical Device Engineering

Background:

  • Controversial results exist for cemented hip stems made of titanium alloy.
  • The Euroform stem is an anatomically designed prosthesis for cemented fixation, manufactured from Ti (6)Al (4)V.
  • Investigating mid-term survival of the Euroform stem is crucial due to existing controversies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the mid-term survival and clinical outcomes of the cemented Euroform hip stem.
  • To assess the revision rate for aseptic femoral loosening associated with the Euroform prosthesis.
  • To compare findings with other published studies on similar hip implants.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 2,141 Euroform prostheses implanted between 1990 and 2000 was reviewed.

  • Follow-up included 73 patients (87%) with 79 prostheses, examined 7-9 years post-implantation (average 94 months).
  • Assessments involved questionnaires, clinical examinations, and radiological evaluations to determine the Harris-hip-score.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 5 revisions were performed: 3 for septic loosening and 2 for aseptic loosening.
    • The revision rate for aseptic femoral loosening was 2.5% after an average of 94 months.
    • The mean Harris-hip-score was 84 points, with 82% of patients reporting good or excellent results.

    Conclusions:

    • The Euroform cemented titanium alloy hip stem demonstrates good mid- to long-term results.
    • These findings contrast with some previously published studies, suggesting favorable outcomes for this specific prosthesis.
    • The Euroform stem offers a viable option for cemented hip arthroplasty with acceptable survival rates.
