Fifty-seven hips undergoing a primary cemented total hip arthroplasty with use of a triangular distal centralizer inserted into the stem tip were investigated, with a special focus on distal cement mantle thickness. The subjects were 43 women and 3 men. When evaluated on conventional anteroposterior and lateral radiographs, the relative incidence of thin cement mantles in zones 3 or 5 owing to the distal centralizer was 15.8% (9 hips). Unsatisfactory findings were that the distal centralizer and distal part of the stem shifted to the cortex in 7 hips and bent or failed at the inserted site in 2 hips. There is risk of generating a thin cement mantle with use of the triangular centralizer and its insertion into the stem tip.
