Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare metal surface finishes proximal-coated titanium surface versus mid-coated titanium surface on femoral components in hip arthroplasty
Detailed Description: In younger patients femoral components are most often implanted without the use of cement A direct ingrowth of bone to the implant is crucial to the attainment of good results in those cases where cement is not employed

The construction of a femoral implant Versys Fiber Metal Taper by Zimmer includes a more extensive coating than previous femoral implants The improved surface coating has been shown to provide these implants with better properties than those demonstrated by implants currently in general use

Theoretically the greater porous surface of mid-coated implants should

Encourage bone ingrowth through improved osteoconductive properties however more extensive coating might change the loss of bone due to stress shielding later in time
Improve anchorage of the implant due to the higher friction coefficient
Result in fewer postoperative complaints measured with the Harris Hip Score and visual analog scale scores

The migration of femoral components will be evaluated by RSA performing radiostereometric analyses at the Orthopaedic Center Aarhus University Hospital The follow-up RSA will be scheduled for week 1 as well as 3 months 12 months and 2 years after surgery Bone mineral density around the implanted femoral component will be examined by DEXA scan at week 1 as well as 1 year and 2 years after surgery
