Abstract
Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis was used in the evaluation of subsidence in nine noncemented femoral components of the Biomet Taperloc prosthesis. After 2 years three components had subsided 0.7-0.9 mm. No distinct symptoms related to the micromotion appeared. The subsidence in this investigation was smaller than the reported subsidence of other noncemented prostheses.
