  • Title: Subsidence of porous coated noncemented femoral components in total hip arthroplasty. A roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis.
    Author: Wykman A, Lundberg A.
    Journal: J Arthroplasty; 1992 Jun; 7(2):197-200. PubMed ID: 1613530.
    Abstract:
    Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis was used in the evaluation of subsidence in nine noncemented femoral components of the Biomet Taperloc prosthesis. After 2 years three components had subsided 0.7-0.9 mm. No distinct symptoms related to the micromotion appeared. The subsidence in this investigation was smaller than the reported subsidence of other noncemented prostheses.
