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).
