  • Title: A noncemented total hip prosthesis.
    Author: Judet R, Siguier M, Brumpt B, Judet T.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1978; (137):76-84. PubMed ID: 743847.
    Abstract:
    Although total hip arthroplasty stabilized by cement has been a great step forward, loosening is becoming more and more frequent and constitutes a significant problem. This is a report of the design of a non-cemented prosthesis in which fixation of the prosthesis is secured by the in-growth of newly-formed bone into the irregularities of the metal. In more than 2000 cases with a follow-up of 5 1/2 years, this fixation design proves to be sound. The complications are relatively rare and the results are generally good.
