Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare metal surface finishes (proximal-coated titanium surface versus mid-coated titanium surface) on femoral components in hip arthroplasty.
Detailed Description
In younger patients femoral components are most often implanted without the use of cement. A direct ingrowth of bone to the implant is crucial to the attainment of good results in those cases where ce...
