Abstract:
There is a lacuna in literature regarding correlation between surgical and functional outcomes of un-cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). So, a prospective observational study on 30 patients was carried out for 18 months having osteonecrosis of head of femur leading to arthritis of the hip joint. We studied short term results of THA using un-cemented implants. We measured the surgical and functional outcomes by using subjective and objective parameters. We found excellent short term outcomes. Thus, though component positioning is important, our study shows that it does not affect the functional outcome in THR.
