A unique, straight-stemmed, proximally porous-coated, modular hip arthroplasty system, coated with thin-film (5- to 9-microm), titanium-nitride ceramic, was used clinically in 130 hip arthroplasties in 117 patients who were followed over a 2- to 12-year interval (mean, 6.45 years). Harris Hip Scores demonstrated 82.3% excellent, 15.4% good, 2.3% fair, and 0% poor results. Thigh pain that limited activities of daily living was seen in 0.8% (1 of 130) hips. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates using an endpoint of revision of any component for any reason demonstrated an overall survival of 95.5% during the 12-year interval. Cementless fixation survivorship of the acetabular and femoral components was 98.5% during the 12-year interval.
