No medium-term advantage of electrochemical deposition of hydroxyapatite in cementless femoral stems: 5-year RSA and DXA results from a randomized controlled trial

Background and purpose — Hydroxyapatite has been used for a long time as an adjunct to enhance cementless fixation. The benefit of this is still debated, but new methods of hydroxyapatite deposition have emerged, offering possible gains. In order to investigate this further, we compared the migratio...
