Description
Summary:Press-fit cups have given excellent clinico-radiographical results. The present clinico-radiographical study evaluated the long-term performance of Ti-Al-V alloy cementless modular press-fit cup (FitekTM) having, on the outer surface, an oriented multilayer titanium mesh (SulmeshTM) with 65% porosity. We have reviewed the first 100 cups implanted in 92 patients with an average FU of 9.7 years (range 9-11 years). Results were evaluated with the Harris score. In no case we found a change of position of the cup, and in this series no revision was necessary. FitekTM cementless cups gave excellent results at 10 years with complete stability and osteo-integration.
