We reviewed 12 patients six years after they had undergone total hip replacement with a cementless prosthesis, the Ribbed Hip System (Waldemar Link GmbH & Co, Hamburg, Germany). Aseptic loosening of one or both components had necessitated revision surgery in seven patients, in five within two years of operation. In view of our experience we question the wisdom of allowing the uncontrolled use of new prosthesis without postoperative surveillance.
