ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To study the clinical influence of fe moral quality on cementless hip replacement and to evaluate cortical index (CI) for femoral quality in order to guide prosthesis choice and rehabilitation.METHODS:
Forty-nine cases of cementless hip replacement were followed up for average 3.5 years, 42 of whom had X-ray films on preopera tion or operation day.RESULTS:
Harris scores and patients' satisfaction were low bu t pain was significant and prolonged when cortical indices were low.CONCLUSIONS:
CI is a reliable semi-quantity parameter for clin ical evaluation of femoral quality. Osteoporosis patients predispose to thigh pa in. Lag for full-weight loading and avoidance for torsion motion can contribute to less pain when CI<=2.2.
