Abstract
We prospectively studied 250 patients with a proximal hydroxyapatite coated hip prosthesis. The follow-up period was 5 years. All components showed os seointegration except for one deep infection. The morphology of bone remode ling with either endosteal bone formation or periosteal bone formation was dependent on the way the stem filled the medullary canal. No linear or dist al osteolysis around the stems was observed.
