Abstract: 

Introduction: Demographic change and demand for high quality of life lead to increasing implantation numbers. Aim of this study was to compare the Plasmafit (R) cup to Allofit (R) and Plasmacup (R).

Methods: The study included 174 patients who had received 33 Plasmacup (R), 68 Allofit (R) and 73 Plasmafit (R) cup implants. These were reviewed postoperatively, after 6 months control and after 12 months.

Results: No significant progressive migration could be discovered in any of the cup systems. At each follow-up the cups showed nearly constant values.

Conclusions: All examined acetabular cups showed excellent migration behavior within the first 12 postoperative months.
