Introduction: Coronal malalignment of non-cemented stems remains controversial. It’s been reported that femoral stems implanted with varus or valgus developed subsidence and lack of integration with femoral bone. The purpose of this study was to calculate prevalence of coronal malalignment in cementless, fully coated with hydroxialapatyte (HA) femoral stems focusing in their long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was performed, assessing 220 primaries total hip replacements with non-cemented, fully coated with HA, femoral stems between 2006 and 2009. Coronal alignment was assessed with hips antero-posterior views with 10º of internal rotation of lower limbs. We registered data about subsidence, proximal femoral osteolysis and cortical hipertrophy. Functional outcomes were assessed with Harris Hip Score (HHS). Free revision rate implant survival was calculated. Results: Prevalence of femoral stems with malalignment was 32.3%. HHS showed an statistically significant increase after surgery (41.05 ± 6.5 versus 90.05 ± 2.5; p <0.01). There were 73.1% of femoral stems that achieved a bone stable fixation. We observed proximal femoral osteolysis in 3.0% of the patients and there were 3% of periprosthetic fractures. Free-revision survival rate was 100% at 10.9 years of follow-up. Conclusion: Cementless, fully coated with HA femoral stems with varus/valgus malalignment achieves good long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes.
