Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two surface materials (tantalum versus titanium fiber mesh) of acetabular components in hip arthroplasty.
Detailed Description
In younger patients, acetabulum 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 wher...
