Resumo

We discuss the cemented or non-cement fixation of the femoral components in total hip arthroplasty on a serie of 121 femoral stem (61 cemented stem and 60 non-cemented stem). Survival analysis, clinical and radiographic data showed no significant differences between the two groups at 5 years follow-up. However the incidence of pain thigh phenomenon was higher for the non-cemented stem (35%) (p < 0.1). Stress schielding was evidently higher between the non-cemented implants (70%) too, as compared with cemented stem (23%). These findings are design-dependent. The cemented arthroplasties had a higher rate of revision procedures because of aseptic loosening (13%). In this way we prefer the non-cement fixation of the femoral implant.
