AbstractBetween March 2007 and July 2010, 1000 consecutive fully porous coated hip resurfacing arthroplasties (HRA) were performed by a single surgeon in 871 patients. The average length of follow-up was 3 ± 1 years. Three cases (0.3%) in three patients showed adverse wear related failures. Another 17 (1.7%) failures were identified at the time of this study. Using any failure of any component as the endpoint, the survivorship rate was 98.8% at two years and 97.4% at five years. Excluding the failed cases, all components were radiographically stable; there was only one partial femoral radiolucency seen. The clinical and radiological outcomes of this fully porous coated hip resurfacing were comparable to, if not better than, those reported by others using hybrid fixation methods at five years post-operatively.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
