Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty with the Rectangular Titanium Zweymüller Stem<sbt aid="1048693">A Concise Follow-up, at a Minimum of Fifteen Years, of a Previous Report<cross-ref type="fn" refid="fn1">*</cross-ref></sbt>

Between October 1986 and November 1987, 208 total hip arthroplasties were performed with use of the cementless Zweymüller stem and a threaded cup in 200 consecutive patients. Of 102 patients (108 hips) who were available for follow-up at a minimum of 180 months postoperatively, eighty-three (eighty-nine hips) had the primary joint replacement still intact. No stem had been revised because of aseptic loosening, but we found various degrees of osteolysis around sixteen (18%) of the implants. The probability of survival of the stem at fifteen years was 0.98 (95% confidence interval, 0.96 to 1.00). The probability of survival of the cup was 0.85 (95% confidence interval, 0.79 to 0.91).
