BACKGROUND: This study evaluates the survivorship of the C-Stem total hip replacement, using the "French Paradox" method, at medium-term follow-up. METHODS: 321 cemented total hip replacements in 307 patients were performed, using the canal-filling technique for the femoral stem. Survival analysis was performed for all-cause revision. The secondary outcome was aseptic loosening of the stem. RESULTS: Revision rate for all reasons was 2%. Overall ten-year survival was 95%. There were no revisions for femoral stem aseptic loosening. CONCLUSION: This is a unique study demonstrating successful outcomes of total hip replacement using the "French Paradox" technique with a triple-tapered stem.
