Owing
to its modularity, ESOP HA provides better prosthesis
adjustment to the bony environment.
Clinical follow-up shows that there is no
resulting thigh pain. A 9 year x ray follow-up period shows
that there is no shaft hyperostosis or bone modification.

Clinical result examples

124 prostheses in 116 patients
operated on between 06/01/91 and 31/12/93
|
- 67 men (average age: 61)
- 49 women (average age:
65)
- 64 left, 60 right
- Hip osteoarthritis, ONA,
etc.
- Average observation
period: 6.9 years (72 - 108 months)
|
The
women's weight varied form 45 to 105, with a 26.1
BMI
The
men's weight ranged from 50 to 125 kg with a 26.8
BMI.
The
average BMA was 26.59 (17.56 41.02) with a typical
difference of 4.02
In
all 16 % of the prostheses (20 out of 124) had to face
significant obesity (BM1 equal or over 30).

The x
ray assessment is based on standing, front view of the hip
and a front and side view of the hip at each
consultation.
ESOP
HA osteo-integration criteria and possible radiological
reactions have been defined on the basis of Engh, Epinette
and Geesink's work.
Gruen
and Callaghan's anatomic zones are used.
The
following items are analysed : edges, reactive lines,
endosted ossification, stem-end modifications, calcar
modifications, lyses and migrations.
The ossification, if any, has
been classified according to Brooker's
classifications.
