The choice of this ceramic is due to its composition being similar to organic apatite bone crystals. This ceramic is biocompatible, bioactive, and osteoconductive. These qualities facilitate the primary stability and osseointegration of implants Our surgical experience includes the implantation of more than 4,000 cementless hydroxyapatite coated hip prostheses since 1990 The models implanted are coated with HA in the acetabulum and in the metaphyseal area of the stem.The results corresponding to survival and stability of implants were very satisfactory in the long-term. From our experience, HA-coated hip implants are a reliable alternative which can achieve long termsurvival, provided that certain requirements aremet: good design selection, sound choice of bearing surfaces based on patient life expectancy,meticulous surgical technique, and indications based on adequate bone quality. 000032184 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000032184 590__ $$a2.134$$b2015 000032184 591__ $$aMEDICINE, RESEARCH & EXPERIMENTAL$$b72 / 124 = 0.581$$c2015$$dQ3$$eT2 000032184 591__ $$aBIOTECHNOLOGY & APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY$$b81 / 161 = 0.503$$c2015$$dQ3$$eT2 000032184 592__ $$a0.854$$b2015 000032184 593__ $$aBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous)$$c2015$$dQ2 000032184 593__ $$aMedicine (miscellaneous)$$c2015$$dQ2 000032184 593__ $$aImmunology and Microbiology (miscellaneous)$$c2015$$dQ2 000032184 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000032184 700__ $$aMateo, J 000032184 700__ $$aGil-Albarova, J 000032184 700__ $$aLobo-Escolar, A 000032184 700__ $$aIbarz, E 000032184 700__ $$aGabarre, S 000032184 700__ $$aMas, Y 000032184 700__ $$aGracia, L 000032184 7102_ $$11004$$2830$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
