Introduction

The Opera acetabular component (Smith & Nephew Ltd) shares many same design features with the Ogee (Depuy Int.). Differences are a malleable flange, instrumentation designed to improve cement pressurisation and the specifics of the UHMW-poly used.

Methods

Data was collected prospectively on 419 consecutive replacements (390 patients), performed between March 2000 and February 2005. A posterior approach was used, and the acetabulum was prepared with multiple key holes. Palacos-R bone cement containing Gentamicin was used with a cement pressuriser.
