Summary
Brief summary
Primary fixation of the acetabular cup in total hip arthroplasty is vital for long-term stability. In cementless press-fit cups, this initial stability is achieved by the press-fit fixation. Additional primary fixation may be obtained by the use of extra screws. However, the value of additional screw fixation of press-fit acetabular cup implants on implant survival is questioned. We investigate if screw fixation is necessary when a GB DMD uncemented cup purposefully designed to enhance osseointegration is implanted. The specific objectives of this project are to
i) evaluate the migration profile of the GB DMD uncemented acetabular Cup at 3 months, 1 and 2 years
ii) compare quality of stability (using radiostereometric analysis) and clinical outcomes with screw verses no screw fixation at 2 years
