Survivorship and Radiographic Analysis of Highly Porous Acetabular Cups Designed for Improved Osseointegration Potential.

CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrated excellent survivorship, and there were no radiographic failures of this acetabular cup in primary total hip arthroplasty patients. Although two patients were found to have minimal (<1mm) radiolucencies, these were not progressive. Longer follow-up studies are needed to further assess the survivorship and outcomes of this new acetabular cup; however, based on the results of this study, these are expected to be favorable.
