Implant Design in Cementless Hip Arthroplasty

Jung Taek Kim et al. Hip Pelvis. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

When performing cementless hip arthroplasty, it is critical to achieve firm primary mechanical stability followed by biological fixation. In order to achieve this, it is essential to fully understand characteristics of implant design. In this review, the authors review fixation principles for a variety of implants used for cementless hip replacement and considerations for making an optimal selection.

Keywords: Cementless; Hip replacement arthroplasty; Implant design.
