Primary total hip arthroplasty using an uncemented AML porous coated femoral component and a bipolar acetabular component was performed on 50 consecutive patients with degenerative arthritis. Of the 50 patients, 43 (48 hips) were available for review at 2 to 3 years follow up. The data obtained in this review suggest that total hip arthroplasty using this prosthesis provides a consistently reliable hip replacement with few related complications and a high patient satisfaction rate. A stable radiographic appearance of both the femoral and acetabular components can be expected.
