- Ninety patients (96 hips) scheduled for THA were stratified to fixation of the acetabular component in three main groups of about equal size. Fluoride cement, porous coated press-fit cup with ceramic coating or Palacos cum Gentamicin cement were used. All patients received Spectron EF stem. The migration of the cups and the femoral head penetration into the socket were measured with radiostereometric analysis. At 2 years the choice of fixation did not influence the migration or rotation of the cup. Patients with compromised bone quality showed increased three-dimensional (3D or total) migration. Proximal and 3D penetration rates were increased in cemented compared with the uncemented cups (p<0.001), which probably not could be related to the choice of fixation. Appearance of radiolucent lines was almost equal in the two cemented groups. Uncemented cups had less radiolucent lines at 2 years. Fluoride containing cement or uncemented fixation did not improve the early postoperative stability of the socket.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Ninety patients (97 hips) scheduled for total hip arthroplasty were stratified to fixation of the femoral component using fluoride-containing cement or Palacos with gentamicin. Whole polyethylene Reflection and press-fit Trilogy cups were used. All patients received Spectron EF stem. The micromotions of the stem were measured with radiostereometric analysis and the periprosthetic bone mineral density with automatic and manual dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) analysis. At 2 years, the choice of cement did not influence the subsidence or rotations of the stem. The DEXA analysis revealed more loss of periprosthetic bone mineral density in fluoride cement group. We speculate that forming of fluorapatite crystals, toxic effects of the fluoride, or lower radiopacity of the fluoride cement might explain this finding. According to our study with 2-year of follow-up, there is no obvious advantage of addition of fluoride to acrylic bone cement when used to fixate the femoral component in total hip arthroplasty.
