Immediate weight bearing after uncemented total hip arthroplasty with an anteverted stem: A prospective randomized comparison using radiostereometry
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.

Results at the 3-month follow-up indicated there were no adverse effects on early full weight bearing after THA.
