The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to compare the peri-operative
morbidity between cemented and uncemented prosthesis following primary total hip
replacement. Two hip surgeons at our hospital changed their operating practice from
a cemented to an uncemented prosthesis in January 2009. All elective primary total
hip replacements performed by these two surgeons at our hospital between 1st
August 2008 and 31st July 2009 were reviewed. We focused on three aspects:
Surgical operating time, Post-operative hospital stay, and Post-operative transfusion
requirement. Statistical analysis was via Students T-Test and Pearson’s chi-squared
test. A total of 68 hip replacements were analysed, 35 cemented and 33
uncemented. The groups were matched for age, ASA grade and sex. The same
operating theatre, surgeons, and surgical approach were used throughout.We
showed there to be a statistically lower operating time of an average of 33 minutes in
the uncemented prosthesis when compared to the cemented prosthesis (p
