Medium and Long Term Outcome of Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Accolade TMZF Femoral Stem

Medium and Long Term Outcome of Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Accolade TMZF Femoral Stem

This is a retrospective/prospective study evaluating the clinical and radiographic outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed using Accolade femoral stem in a consecutive group of patients. All patients eligible for inclusion will be identified. The investigators hypothesize that the outcome of THA performed using Accolade femoral stem is equal or superior to historical survivorship of THA using other types of collarless, proximally coated, tapered stems.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. All patients undergoing THA prior to 1/1/2003 using Accolade femoral stem.
2. Patients with hip fracture undergoing THA will also be included.
3. Patients willing and able to comply with follow-up requirements and self-evaluations.
