This retrospective single-center study evaluated the >10-year follow-up (FU) and survival of 2 anatomically adapted cemented total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in a series of 308 patients (323 THAs) with a mean age of 76.2 years at operation. At a mean of 11 years of FU, patient-reported outcome measures, clinical examination, and plain radiography were analyzed. In 6 THAs, the femoral and/or acetabular component was revised. Reasons for revision were aseptic loosening and infection. At >10 years of FU, there was an overall survival for both THAs of 98.1%. Radiographic radiolucent lines were seen in 15 THAs affecting Gruen zone 4 and Delee and Charnley zone II. We conclude that both anatomically adapted cemented THAs have an excellent survival at 11 years of FU.
