Uncemented porous-coated anatomic total hip replacement in Chinese patients.

Primary uncemented Porous-Coated Anatomic total hip replacement was carried out in 72 hips in 62 Chinese patients. Their average age was 50 years and the average follow up was 3 1/2 years. The most common diagnosis was avascular necrosis. The average preoperative Harris score of 36.3 points improved to 83.2 at the last follow up. The pain score improved from 13.7 out of 44 to an average of 42. Seven of 8 hips with thigh pain had an inadequately fitting stem which had subsided. Only one cup was revised because of a technical error and one femoral component for loosening. Uncemented Porous-Coated Anatomic total hip replacement gave good early results in Chinese patients.
