Project title: Ten Year Review of Un-cemented Straight Stem Grit Blasted Hip Prosthesis

Human subjects IRB approved project number (where applicable): N/A

Animal subjects IRB approved project number (where applicable): N/A

Project Type (patient-based research, animal-based research, or basic research; this characterization is only to permit a general classification for grouping similar types of projects) Chart and x-ray review

Brief Description of Project: Due to increased longevity of patients as well as decreasing age of joint replacement, total hip replacements are now expected to last several decades. New technology including non-cemented prostheses as well as treated metals are now at the ten year mark. This study will review ten years of this implant looking for wear, infection, loosening and complications. This study will then be published.
