Cemented Mallory-Head hip prostheses require more revisions
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2002 Oct;84-A(10):1823-8250 patients undergoing hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis were randomized to receive a Mallory-Head total hip prosthesis with either cement or uncemented insertion.

Other outcome measures were similar or nonsignificantly different between groups.
