Abstract
We evaluated intermediate-term results of primary cementless Omniflex prostheses.
Forty-nine patients (57 hips) with a mean age of 44 years were observed for an average of 8.6 years.
These results were inferior to those using other recent cementless total hip systems. The increasing prevalence of loosening and osteolysis with time are problems related to this Omniflex femoral component. Although the implant design is unique, the authors no longer use this system.
