The aim of this study was (1) to determine the stem survival rate in patients &gt;75 years of age who were treated with an uncemented femoral component and (2) to report clinically significant results on a mid-term follow-up. Methods: 107 total hip arthroplasties (THA) were retrospectively evaluated in 97 patients over 75 years of age (mean age 78 years, range 75\u201387) treated with an uncemented femoral stem. The minimum follow-up was five years (mean 6.4 years, range 5\u20138). Stem survival rates, clinically meaningful outcomes, and incidence of complications were evaluated. Results: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, with the endpoint revision for any reason, showed a 6.4-year survival rate of 98% (95% CI, 95\u201399%; 63 hips at risk). The survival rates were comparable for male and female patients (log-rank test, p = 0.58). The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) improved from 42.2 (12 to 85) points to 81.1 (22 to 97) points (p &lt; 0.0001). Mid-term minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were 25, 84, and 70, respectively. Conclusion: An uncemented stem is a viable option in patients over 75 years with good clinical outcomes and survivorship. Periprosthetic fractures were not a relevant failure mechanism with the stem used.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10051019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,2]],"date-time":"2021-03-02T10:36:37Z","timestamp":1614681397000},"page":"1019","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Midterm Survivorship of an Uncemented Hydroxyapatite-Coated Titanium Femoral Component and Clinically Meaningful Outcomes in Patients Older Than 75 Years"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Alexander","family":"Zimmerer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ARCUS Sportklinik, Rastatterstr. 17-19, 75179 Pforzheim, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Surgery, University Medicine Greifswald, Ferdinand-Sauerbruch-Stra\u00dfe, 17475 Greifswald, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis","family":"Navas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARCUS Sportklinik, Rastatterstr. 17-19, 75179 Pforzheim, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Kinkel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARCUS Sportklinik, Rastatterstr. 17-19, 75179 Pforzheim, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Weiss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARCUS Sportklinik, Rastatterstr. 17-19, 75179 Pforzheim, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Hauschild","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARCUS Sportklinik, Rastatterstr. 17-19, 75179 Pforzheim, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcus","family":"Streit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARCUS Sportklinik, Rastatterstr. 17-19, 75179 Pforzheim, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1508","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)60457-7","article-title":"The operation of the century: Total hip replacement","volume":"370","author":"Learmonth","year":"2007","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (2020, August 08).
