Abstract: | Between 1974 and 1980, 550 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) (479 patients) were performed using T-28 and TR-28 cemented prostheses (TR-28 is shot-blast chrome and T-28 is polished stainless steel). There were 379 cemented THAs in 321 patients in the T-28 group and 171 cemented THAs in 158 patients in the TR-28 group. Average follow-up of the patients still alive at the end of the study was 20.96 years in the T-28 group and 17.54 years in the TR-28 group. When considering failure as revision of the hip for aseptic acetabular loosening, there were 36 (9.5%) failures in the T-28 group and 12 (7%) failures in the TR-28 group. This difference was statistically significant (P = .0132). When considering failure as radiographic acetabular loosening with or without radiographic femoral loosening, there were 52 failed acetabula (13.7%) in the T-28 group and 18 failed acetabula (10.5%) in the TR-28 group. These differences were not statistically significant. When considering failure as revision for aseptic femoral loosening with or without acetabular component loosening, there were 42 failures (11.1%) in the T-28 group and 22 failures (12.8%) in the TR-28 group. This difference was not statistically significant. When considering failure as radiographic femoral loosening with or without acetabular component loosening, there were 42 failures (11.1%) in the T-28 group and 27 failures (15.8%) in the TR-28 group. This difference was statistically significant for log-rank test (P = .0318) and Wilcoxon's test (P = .0083). Surface finish may be an important contributor to the survival of cemented femoral stems. |
