ARTHROPLASTY
No adverse effects seen with early full weight bearing after total hip arthroplasty
Acta Orthop. 2007 Dec;78(6):730-843 patients undergoing uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) with hydroxyapatite coating and anteverted stem were randomized to undergo one of two procedures postoperatively.
