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 .
Indications, methods, and results of cemented, hybrid, and cement-free implantation of THR.
THR has become one of the most widely performed operations in orthopaedic surgery . In Germany , more than 180,000 THRs are currently done annually with increasing tendency . We use four different types of endoprostheses : ( 1 ) cemented , ( 2 ) cement-less , ( 3 ) hybrid ( cement-free implanted socket and cemented stem ) , and ( 4 ) hemi-endoprosthesis ( cemented stem without socket ) . A total number of 600 patients were included in a prospect i ve follow-up study during 5 to 20 years , with a mean follow-up period of 10 years . The relevant question of whether to use a cemented , hybrid , or cement-free version of THR is , in our opinion , no longer a concern . All the methods have their advantages , disadvantages , indications , and contraindications . After the " Endler-era " , significant differences are not noted between the groups of cemented , hybrid , and cement-less implants that impact on the clinical results and loosening rates
