The aim of this study was to investigate the migration pattern of the Lubinus SP II prosthesis stem. Migration at the stem-cement and at the bone-cement interface was assessed. Twenty-five patients were studied by radiostereometry during a period of 2 years. The migration of the head, of 2 points on the collar, of the stem tip, and also of the cement restrictor, was measured. The collar and the head were found stable at 2 years' follow-up, whereas an anterior migration occurred at the stem tip (median, 0.3 mm; 25th percentile, 0.04 mm; 75th percentile, 1.27 mm). Virtually no subsidence or axial rotation of the stems was observed. An anterior migration of the restrictor marker was also observed, compatible with a rigid sagittal plane rotation of the stem and of the cement mantle about the collar. Therefore, stem tip migration occurred at the bone-cement interface. Key words: total hip arthroplasty, anatomic stem, radiostereometry, subsidence, bone-cement interface.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the migration pattern of the Lubinus SP II prosthesis stem. Migration at the stem-cement and at the bone-cement interface was assessed. Twenty-five patients were studied by radiostereometry during a period of 2 years. The migration of the head, of 2 points on the collar, of the stem tip, and also of the cement restrictor, was measured. The collar and the head were found stable at 2 years' follow-up, whereas an anterior migration occurred at the stem tip (median, 0.3 mm; 25th percentile, 0.04 mm; 75th percentile, 1.27 mm). Virtually no subsidence or axial rotation of the stems was observed. An anterior migration of the restrictor marker was also observed, compatible with a rigid sagittal plane rotation of the stem and of the cement mantle about the collar. Therefore, stem tip migration occurred at the bone-cement interface. Key words: total hip arthroplasty, anatomic stem, radiostereometry, subsidence, bone-cement interface.Pubblicazioni consigliate
