Previous studies have reported excellent results with tapered, titanium, porous plasma-sprayed components in patients undergoing uncemented primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to examine survival and clinical results at a minimum 25-year follow-up. We reviewed all patients who underwent primary THA at our center through 1995 with a specific femoral component that was essentially unchanged since its 1984 introduction, except porous coating was continued circumferentially in 1987, a hydroxyapatite-coated option was offered in 1988, and an offset option was added in 1999. There were 332 patients (396 THA) who had a minimum 25-year follow-up (range, 25 to 37). Mean age at surgery was 48 years (range, 21 to 70 years). Mean follow-up in nonfailed patients was 29 years (range, 25 to 37 years). There were 31 femoral revisions (7.8%): 9 infections, 3 failures of ingrowth, 5 aseptic loosening, 8 osteolysis well-fixed, 2 periprosthetic fractures, 2 polyethylene wear with trochanteric avulsion, 1 component breakage, and 1 malalignment well-fixed. Kaplan-Meier survival with the endpoint of all-cause stem revision was 94.8% (95% confidence interval: ±0.9%) at 37 years, and with the endpoint of aseptic loosening/failure of ingrowth was 98.7% (95% confidence interval: ±0.5) at 37 years. Harris hip scores improved significantly from 43 preoperatively to 76 most recently. This tapered, titanium, porous plasma spray-coated femoral component continues to demonstrate high long-term survival with a low rate of femoral component revision for any reason or aseptic loosening/failure of ingrowth.
