Osteointegration of 96 cementless hip prostheses with hydroxyapatite coating; 5 years follow-up.
Since 1988 at total of 96 hip prostheses with hydroxyapatite coating (HA) for both the acetabular and the femoral components have been used. HA is considered to be a biocompatible material, with a considerable capacity for osteointegration with evident osteophilia. Close integration between this material and bone tissue is determined by the formation of chemical bonds, and this leads to the development of osteoid tissue and newly-formed bone trabeculae. Based on the radiographic evaluation criteria described by Engh in 1990 and with reference to the concepts of stability and fixation of the prosthesis to the bone, it was observed that radiographic signs of osteointegration are manifested as early as 1 year after surgery, and, in particular, that the formation of bone bridges (spot welds) in the interface increases in time.

The OCTOPUS system for acetabular reconstruction.
In revision surgery of the hip, reconstruction of the acetabulum often constitutes the most complex procedure. There is frequently a considerable loss of bone substance, and correct repositioning of the rotation center of the femoral head is required. Based on surgical experience supported by clinical results the authors affirm that both of these objectives may be achieved when the OCTOPUS socket system is used. This implant, with anchoring to the iliac bone and the use of bone transplants, allows for the reconstruction of the original anatomy of the cotyle.
