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 .
Results of Charnley total hip arthroplasty at a minimum of thirty years. A concise follow-up of a previous report.
The purpose of the current study was to up date the results of a prospect i ve , single-surgeon series of primary Charnley total hip arthroplasties performed with cement . This investigation is one of the first studies in which hips treated with total hip arthroplasty with cement  were followed for a minimum of thirty years . Twenty-seven patients ( thirty-four [ 10.3 % ] of the hips in the initial study group ) were alive at a minimum of thirty years postoperatively . These patients served as the focus of the present study .  Revision because of aseptic loosening of the acetabular component was performed in 7.3 % ( twenty-three ) of the hips from the original study group ( excluding those revised because of infection or dislocation ) and 26 % ( eight ) of the hips in the living cohort .  Revision  because of aseptic loosening of the femoral component was performed in 3.2 % ( ten ) of the hips from the original study group ( excluding those revised because of infection or dislocation ) and 10 % ( three ) of the hips in the living patients . Since the twenty-five-year review , three hips were revised ( one because of acetabular loosening , one because of femoral loosening , and one because of instability ) . This end- result study demonstrated the remarkable durability of cemented Charnley total hip replacements over a span of three decades , with 88 % of the original prostheses intact at the time of the final follow-up or at the patient 's death
