Cementless total hip arthroplasty using the modular S-ROM prosthesis combined with corrective proximal femoral osteotomy

We present the results of total hip arthroplasty using S-ROM (Depuy, Warsaw, Ind) prosthesis combined with corrective femoral transverse osteotomy for hips with proximal femoral deformity. Fourteen hips were followed up for a mean of 61 months (range, 36-95 months), with a mean age at surgery of 55 years (range, 44-69 years). The average intraoperative blood loss was 638 mL, and the average operative time was 136 minutes. The average Harris Hip Score increased from 38.0 (range, 15.0-55.7) preoperatively to 82.0 (range, 34.6-92.7) at the latest follow-up. All the hips except for 1 acquired union of osteotomy and bone ingrowth. S-ROM modular stem, which gives sufficient rotational stability at both proximal and distal parts of the osteotomy, is useful for total hip arthroplasty combined with corrective femoral transverse osteotomy.
