Abstract
The aseptic loosening rate of the Mayo hip prosthesis femoral stem was determined in a 44 patient (52 hips) series, by comparing preoperative and postoperative clinical and radiographic parameters, over a minimal 5-year postoperative period. Loosening was obvious before five years in four hips (7.6%), while the stem was considered stable in the remaining 48 hips over a mean 6.1 year period, therefore accounting for a 92.3% Kaplan-Meier survival rate. We conclude that the aseptic loosening rate is too high for the Mayo hip prosthesis femoral stem, as compared to literature data concerning the non-conservative stems.
