Fixation Methods in Primary Hip Arthroplasty: A Nationwide, Registry-Based Observational Study in Romania (2001–2024)
The variation trend of total uncemented implants is almost double compared to the variation trend of all primary hip joint surgeries. This indicates a trend towards uncemented fixation, and its share is increasing in all age groups. The increase in the proportion of uncemented fixations was associated with a small, non-significant decrease in revision burden.
