Purpose: The 7–10 years follow-up of a series of 165 consecutive hybrid total hip arthroplasties performed by the same team of surgeons and with the same technique is presented.
Materials and method: Underreaming and pressfitting of the cup was performed in all cases. Screws were used supplementary in 8 of the cases. For the fixation of the stem second generation cement technique was performed in 77 hips and the third generation technique in 88.
Results: After a mean follow-up of 8 years (range 7 to 10 years) the average Harris hip score increased from 36 points (range 7 to 63 points) preoperatively to 93,5 points (range, 75 to 100 points). Revision was performed in one patient, no radiographic loosening or osteolysis and no infections.
Conclusion: The medium to term results are very encouraging and seem extremely promising for the long term (at least a decade).
