The aim is to perform the assessment of a modular cementless acetabular cup with
a tapered internal design for all bearing couplings.
In 190 unselected
consecutive patients, 207 total hip arthroplasties were implanted. The implants
were clinically and radiographically evaluated. Follow-up was 49.7 +/- 8.1
months. The average Harris hip score improved from 55.5 +/- 5.7 to 94.7 +/- 3.4
(P < 0.05). All cups were well-positioned and stable. The Kaplan-Maier cumulative
survivorship was 98.5 +/- 0.8%. No significant differences have been noted in
dividing patients according to the different liner materials
(P < 0.005). The
study, whose rationale is the novelty of this kind of implant, suggests the
efficacy of the Delta-PF acetabular cup.
