Long-term clinical results of Charnley total hip arthroplasty using a matte satin-finished stem: a 30-year average follow-up study

Conclusions These results were as favorable as those with surgical techniques (including the first-generation cement technique) and implants in the early period. Although new techniques and implants have since been introduced, their long-term results should exceed those in this study. The results of this study should provide a valuable index with which to compare the long-term studies of current total hip arthroplasty.
