ABSTRACT
[Objective]To evaluate the clinical outcome of the Ribbed anatomic cementless prosthesis.[Method]A total of 1436 hips in 956 patients undergone THR with Ribbed anatomic cementless prosthesis were reviewed.Between March 1997 and September 2005,1 249 hips in 832 patients were available for clinical and radiological follow-up.The mean follow-up period was 6.7 years with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 10.5 years.The patients were evaluated with Harris Hip Score and radiographic analysis.[Result]The mean Harris Hip Score increased from 34.7 preoperatively to 91.5 postoperatively.Excellent and good functional improvement was seen in 96.3% of the operated patients.There was neither periprosthetic osteolysis nor evidence of loosening on follow-up radiographs.[Conclusion]Ribbed anatomic cementless prosthesis is found to be performing well with good clinical and radiological result.
