57 patients with 60 hips requiring total hip replacement were randomized to receive cemented Charnley total hip replacements with either Palamed G or Palacos R cements with gentamicin. Throughout the course of the 2 year study period, micromovement of the cemented femoral component and clinical outcomes were measured.
