Biomet Taperloc
The results of an award-winning paper showed a loosening rate of 0.7% at 22 to 26 years follow-up for uncemented total hip arthroplasty performed with a tapered femoral component.
In his study, Jeffrey R. McLaughlin, MD, found one uncemented femoral stem among the 145 hips (138 patients) that were treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the cemented tapered stem (Taperloc, Biomet).William Kennedy, MD, performed all of the THA procedures between 1983 and 1985.
