Abstract:
The Fitmore titanium mesh cementless acetabular component in 115 hip arthroplasties was reviewed at an average of 33 months of follow-up. None were revised nor had infection. One hip dislocated 4 years postoperatively. Two femoral components were revised. The average Harris Hip Score at the last follow-up was 90 points. In the 96 sets of radiographs available, there was no loosening or new radiolucency. One hip had nonprogressive osteolysis adjacent to a screw. This press-fit cup has its polar region flattened and is rim loading. Noncontact (gaps) at the acetabular floor is expected and is not critical for fixation. In all but 6 hips, these gaps filled. In 5 hips, a minimal gap (
