Clinical Results The preliminary clinical results (March 2007) for the custom femoral stem are: A total of 1200 operated hips Up to 10 years observation time Complications: • Three intraoperative fissures (successfully treated with wiring) • Eight patients with moderate thigh pain less than 12 months post operative. • One patient with moderate thigh pain more than 24 months post operative. • Three luxations (fall injuries, stable after reposition) • No loosening • Four revisions due to deep infection (two) and perioprosthetic femoral fracture University Hospital in Trondheim The preliminary results (10 years follow up) from non-randomized and randomized studies at Trondheim University Hospital show that Unique® custom stem performs as good as or better than conventional uncemented stem. These studies includes: • function and pain scores • x ray analysis • clinical stability investigations with Radio Stereometric Analysis (RSA) • remodelling investigations with Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) Ullevål University Hospital in Oslo Preliminary results from randomized studies at Ullevål University Hospital show that Unique custom stem performs as good as or better than a conventional cemented stem. These studies includes : • function and pain scores • x ray analysis • clinical stability investigations with Radio Stereometric Analysis (RSA) • remodelling investigations with Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)
