The effects of different weight-bearing regimes on press-fit cup stability: a randomised study with five years of follow-up using radiostereometry

Abstract: Purpose There is little evidence to support immediate weight bearing after uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods Thirty-seven patients with unilateral osteoarthritis of the hip received a press-fit cup. Cup stability was assessed with radiostereometry (RSA) over five years. Patients were randomised to immediate full weight bearing, or partial weight bearing for three months.Results At five years, we found no difference in micromotion as assessed with radiostereometry. Numerically, there was more pro… Show more

“…Another limitation of this study is the number of drop-outs. However, the drop-out rate is comparable to those of other RSA studies [ 23 , 24 , 46 48 ]. During the crucial period of the first 2 years, that are relevant for RSA-prognosis, eleven patients had to be excluded.…”

“…However, no adverse effects of early full weight bearing of uncemented THAs have been described (Bodén and Adolphson 2004, Thien et al 2007, Wolf et al 2012). Moreover, early loading of the THA is not unique to outpatient THA.…”

“…This has been driven by several factors including the development of clinical pathways that have been proven to reduce LOS after elective procedures [7, 9-12, 14, 16, 19, 20], a focus on reduction of healthcare expenditures in the last decade, an increased awareness of complications associated with decreased mobilization, and published studies demonstrating no compromise in outcome with early ''full'' weightbearing and early mobilization in cementless THA [2,21,22].…”
