We studied fixation changes over time in 113 porous-coated Howmedica (PCA) cementless acetabular cups inserted in 90 patients 1984-1988. The mean follow-up was 5 years. Radiographic fixation was classified as stable, fibrous-stable, or unstable. 9 cups, 3 in neutral position and 6 vertical, were revised. At follow-up, 40/75 neutral cups were stable versus 7/27 vertical cups. Most stable cups and two thirds of the unstable cups were clinically good. After the first 2 years, 28/75 neutral cups and 10/27 vertical cups changed their fixation: 12 had improved fixation and 26 had a worse one.Downloads
