Vástago femoral PMC en cirugía protésica de cadera: revisión clínica y radiológica

We reviewed 100 consecutive hip arthroplasties with a cemented femoral component (PMC) after 30 months of follow-up. The average age of patients was 75 years. The diagnosis was osteoarthritis in 31 hips, fractures in 63 hips and others in 6. 94% hip arthroplasties were performed through the posterolateral approach. The mean Harris score at latest 30-month follow- up, was 82 points, 92 points in hybrid arthroplasties and 72 in bipolar arthroplasties. Radiographic and clinic follow-up had showed loosening of 1 stem, without abnormalities in the interface cement-prosthesis.
