In a prospective study, 138 patients who underwent total hip replacement by the McKee-Farrar or the Charnley technique were monitored yearly for 5 years by X-ray. Six variables were measured on anteroposterior and lateral projections to describe the position of the prosthesis. Lateral opening > 50° and cover of the acetabular cup < 1.5 cm correlated with an increased cup-loosening rate: 71% (98 of 138) were loose at the 5-year follow-up. However, only about one-third of all cup loosenings in the present series can be explained by nonoptimal position of the prosthesis. No significant difference emerged concerning loosening rate between the McKee-Farrar and the Charnley prostheses.
