  • Title: Primary uncemented Harris-Galante acetabular components in patients 50 years old or younger: results at 10 to 12 years.

    Abstract:
    Seventy-three patients (84 hips) 50 years or younger were treated with primary total hip arthroplasty using the Harris-Galante uncemented acetabular component. At a median followup of 10 years, there were seven acetabular metal shell revisions: five for osteolysis and one each for aseptic loosening and dislocation. There were 10 polyethylene exchanges without metal acetabular shell removal. None of the unrevised acetabular components was radiographically loose, but eight had pelvic osteolysis. The rate of 10-year survival without revision of the acetabular metal shell was 87.9% (95% confidence interval, 80.1%-95.7%). The same rate of survival without revision for aseptic acetabular component loosening was 97.3% (95% confidence interval, 92.9%-100%). Revision for aseptic acetabular loosening or polyethylene liner exchange or both was 84.5% (95% confidence interval, 75.8%-93.4%).
