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 .

More failures of uncemented acetabular screw-rings than of cemented polyethylene cups in total hip arthroplasties
Abstract The results of 498 total hip arthroplasties were prospect ively studied . In 329 patients a cemented acetabular polyethylene cup was inserted . In 169 patients a threaded socket without cement was introduced . Follow-up ranged from 6 to 8 years and follow-up rate was over 90 % . Of the 169 threaded sockets 8 required revision ( 4.7 % ) , and 3 acetabular components were seen to be loose on X-ray . Of the cemented cups , only 2 ( 0.6 % ) required revision and none were considered loose on X-ray . Résumé Présentation d’une étude prospect i ve de 498 arthroplasties totale de la hanche . Dans 329 cas , une cupule en polyéthylène cimentée a été utilesée . Dans 169 cas , un cotyle sans ciment vissé a été utilisé . 90 % des patients ont été suivis 6 à 8 ans . Parmi les 169 cupules vissées , 11 sont descellées et 8 ont dûêtre révisées ( 4,7 % ) . Il n’y a que 2 descellements des cupules cimentées qui ont dûêtre révisés ( 0,6 % )
