Palamed G compared with Palacos R with gentamicin in Charnley total hip replacement

This report has been verified by one or more authors of the original publication.

57 patients with 60 hips requiring total hip replacement were randomized to receive cemented Charnley total hip replacements with either Palamed G or Palacos R cements with gentamicin. Throughout the course of the 2 year study period, micromovement of the cemented femoral component and clinical outcomes were measured. By the end of the study it was found that both Palamed G and Palacos R with gentamicin are equally effective bone cements as no significant difference in mean subsidence, mean internal rotation, and Harris hip score was found.
