TABLE IV.
Cumulative Incidence Estimates of Acetabular Loosening over Time*
| Reconstruction Type | 1 Year | 2 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| Tantalum | 0.0% (0.0% to 8.1%†) | 0.0% (0.0% to 8.1%†) | 0.0% (0.0% to 8.1%†) | 0.0% (0.0% to 8.1%†) |
| Harrington technique | 0.0% (0.0% to 3.8%†) | 2.8% (0.7% to 10.7%) | 7.1% (2.7% to 18.4%) | 9.6% (4.1% to 21.7%) |
The values are given as the cumulative incidence, with the 95% CI in parentheses.
In areas in which there were no failures, the bottom limit of the 95% CI was 0 because there was no variance in the group (i.e., none of the implants were revised and all implants survived).
