Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was the evaluation of the medium- to long-term results of the cementless Bicontact SD hip arthroplasty, which was designed specially for narrow femoral medullary cavities. Method: From February 1992 to December 1996 115 patients (123 joints) were treated with a Bicontact SD stem and various cup implants through a posterior approach. In one third of cases, the indication was dysplastic osteoarthritis of various degrees of severity. Results: Between November 2006 and May 2007 90 patients (98 hip joints) were followed up in a retrospective study after an average of 12.2 (10.1 - 15.1) years. The average Harris Hip Score was 93 (60 - 100) points and the Merle d'Aubigné score was 16.7 (5 - 18) points. A stem implant had to be regarded as loosened according to radiological criteria. One patient died 7 days postoperatively of a pulmonary embolism. Conclusion: The clinical and radiological results confirmed the proximal fixation concept in dysplastic femurs and narrow medullary cavities.
