Abstract

This multicenter study evaluated survivorship, functional outcomes, complications, and radiographic outcomes for patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using a newly developed highly porous 3-dimensional titanium implant. Excellent aseptic (99.6%) and all-cause (98%) survivorship and functional outcomes were found at 3-year follow-up. This highly porous acetabular shell holds promise in total hip arthroplasty.
