Failure rate of cemented and uncemented total hip replacement

Read the full open access research: http://www.bmj.com/content/348/bmj.f7592 Cemented fixation has been the ideal method of total hip replacement in many countries, whereas uncemented implants have been largely used in Australia, the United States, and some European countries, but uncertainty remains over which method is best. Based on information from the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association database, the researchers assessed the survival of cemented, uncemented, hybrid (uncemented cup with cemented stem), and reverse hybrid (cemented cup with uncemented stem) implants for total hip replacements in patients aged 55 years or older.
