Osteolysis Development Around Uncemented Cups With or Without Screw Holes

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 1994
In order to investigate the role of acetabular cup screw holes for the transport of osteolysis-inducing particles in a total hip arthroplasty articulation, the investigators compare the amount of bone loss around acetabular cups with and without holes. Bone loss is measured with computed tomography at 7 years and 15 - 18 years of follow-up.
