T1 A Two-Year Prospective and Retrospective Multi-Center Study of the TriboFit® Hip System JF Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants JO JLT YR 2009 FD 2009-07-01 VO 19 IS 2 SP 149 OP 155 K1 hip K1 replacement K1 arthroplasty K1 polycarbonate K1 urethane K1 polyurethane K1 TriboFit K1 Buffer K1 osteoarthritis K1 femoral neck fracture AB The first 50 cases using a polycarbonate-urethane acetabular component in the TriboFit® Hip System for human hip reconstruction were reviewed. The average follow-up for cases not revised or deceased prior to 24 months was 28.0 months. The clinical results were similar to those reported in the literature for the same indications and follow-up. Therefore, with 2 to 4 years follow-up, it can be concluded that the TriboFit® Hip System is as safe and effective for use as a hip replacement system in femoral neck fracture patients as traditional hemiarthroplasty systems, and in osteoarthritis patients as a total hip system made of traditional bearing materials.
