BACKGROUND: Proximal stem fixation by partial cementing is a new concept in hip arthroplasty. We conducted a prospective clinical and radiological analysis to evaluate the preliminary outcome of this new technique with the Option 3000 stem (Mathys Orthopaedics, Bettlach, Switzerland). METHODS AND FOCUS: One hundred and thirty-three hip replacements in 123 patients have been performed between 1996 and 2003: All of them were followed up regularly both clinically and radiological and 53 were analysed with the EBRA-FCA method. Eighty-six patients with 95 hips could be seen in August 2004. At this point of time, the mean follow-up time was 61 months (5.08 years) with a maximum of 100 months (8.33 years) RESULTS: The clinical data reported an average Harris Hip Score of 85.5. Nine stems had to be exchanged over the period of study. The EBRA-FCA analysis reported a mean subsidence less than 1.5 mm after 2 years, then an average stable subsidence of 2.4 mm. So the results are similar to the early results obtained with other fixation concepts and the long-term results appear promising.
