Abstract

60 patients with arthrosis who received a Charnley total hip replacement were randomly assigned to either an uncemented porous Harris-Galante type I socket or a cemented all-polyethylene Charnley socket. Socket migration and rotation were studied by radiostereometry (RSA) for 2 years. After 2 years, all sockets were still in situ. There was no difference in migration or rotation between the 2 socket designs, nor was there any difference in pain or function. We conclude that the initial fixation of the Harris-Galante socket resembles that of the Charnley socket.
