Abstract
A retrospective review was conducted to evaluate the mid-term results (8.5 years follow-up) of the Versys ET stem (Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana, USA). From 1995 to 2000, 225 total hip arthroplasties (THA) were performed using this device. All patients were evaluated clinically by the Harris Hip Score, and radiographically. The Hip Score increased from 54 preoperatively to 97 points postoperatively. The stem displayed a varus alignment between 5 degrees and 10 degrees in 17 cases without any clinical consequences (HHS 96.8). We recorded one case of septic loosening and one case of aseptic loosening. The stability of the stem was radiographically evaluated according to Engh's criteria, confirming bone ongrowth in all other cases.
