2007 Has hip surgery for Rheumatoid Arthritis moved on?

Description: From the 1960’s to the mid 1980’s cemented total hip replacement was the best option for the hip joint severely destroyed by rheumatoid arthritis. Around the early 1980’s several papers reported very good long term survival of the cemented femoral components with some still functioning well at 15 year follow up. Unfortunately the cemented acetabular components were not lasting as well.
