Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of totol hip replacement opplications and two different prosthesis systems.

Methods: Between 1992- 1999 twenty-eight hips of twenty-four patients who had been operated and followed up properly were enrolled in the study. 15 cases were female and 9 cases were male. The mean age was 61 years (42- 73) during operation. Hybrid system was usedin 15 hips, cemented system in 13 hips. Clinical eualuation was performed by Harris Hip Scoring System (HHS).

Results: The patients were followed up for mean 6.5 years. After the follow-up period, mean HHS was 86.46±5.69 in cemented group, whereas it was 89.69±4.15 was in hybrid group. There was no significant difference between thegroupsfor HHS. Better results were found in patients less than 75 kgs.

Conclusions: We found no difference between cemented and hybrid total hip arthroplasty systems in patients with primary arthrosis within the in termediate follow up period.
