A best evidence analysis for complications , wear , osteolysis , migration and clinical scores showed no superiority for either cemented or cementless socket in the RCTs .
A best evidence analysis for non RCT studies revealed better osteolysis , migration properties and aseptic loosening survival for cementless sockets ; however , wear and overall survival favoured the cemented sockets .
Purpose Total hip arthroplasty has been a very succesful orthopaedic procedure .
The optimal fixation method of the acetabular component however , has not yet been defined .
Methods We performed a systematic review using the Medline and Embase data bases to find evidence for the superiority of cemented or cementless acetabular components  on short- and long-term clinical and radiological parameters .
Prevalence of heterotopic ossification in cemented versus noncemented total hip joint replacement in patients with osteoarthrosis: a randomized clinical trial.
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of heterotopic bone formation in cemented versus noncemented total hip joint replacement . DESIGN A prospect i ve r and omized controlled trial . Follow-up ranged from 2 to 6 years ( mean 4 years ) . SETTING A university hospital . PATIENTS Two hundred and twenty-six patients who had primary or secondary osteoarthrosis of the hip were stratified according to type of fixation , surgeon and age . Patients were r and omized within strata : 112 received noncemented total hip prostheses and 114 received cemented prostheses . The 2 groups were similar with respect to age and sex . INTERVENTION Primary total hip arthroplasty . A cemented ( methylmethacrylate ) or noncemented prosthesis was inserted by a lateral surgical approach . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The Brooker classification was used to grade heterotopic bone formation from postoperative radiographs . RESULTS Overall , 148 ( 66 % ) hips had no heterotopic ossification , 56 ( 25 % ) were Brooker class I , 14 ( 6 % ) were class II , 8 ( 3 % ) were class III and none were class IV . In the noncemented group of patients , 76 ( 68 % ) hips had no heterotopic ossification , 25 ( 22 % ) were Brooker class I , 7 ( 6 % ) were class II , 4 ( 4 % ) were class III and none were class IV . In the cemented group of patients , 72 ( 63 % ) hips had no heterotopic ossification , 31 ( 27 % ) hips were Brooker class I , 7 ( 6 % ) were class II , 4 ( 4 % ) were class III and none were class IV . CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in the prevalence of heterotopic ossification between cemented and noncemented total hip replacements in patients with osteoarthrosis
