View article

Background

We present the results of cementless total hip arthroplasty using anatomically adapted stem and hemispherical cup with a fully coated Spongiosa metal surface, first introduced in 1982, which aims to achieve a surface structure approaching that of human cancellous bone. This implant is still being used in clinical practice with minor modifications.

Aim

The aim of the study is to determine the long-term outcomes of spongiosa-I metal surface hip arthroplasty over minimum of twenty years follow-up.
