Highly Porous Titanium Cups versus Hydroxyapatite-Coated Sockets: Mid-Term Results in Metachronous Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty
2019
Objective
Highly porous titanium cups have been recently introduced, with contradictory outcomes. A retrospective consecutive case series involving bilateral metachronous total hip arthroplasties (THA) performed with 2 different cups, i.e., Fixa (F) and Fixa Ti-Por (T) (Adler Ortho, Milan, Italy), and the same stem, was evaluated. T sockets, manufactured using electron beam melting, were supposed to prove superior in terms of clinical results, survival rates, and radiographic parameters in comparison to hydroxyapatite-coated F cups with conventional porosity.
