The relationship between the design, position, and articular wear of acetabular components inserted without cement and the development of pelvic osteolysis.

Between 1983 and 1987, an acetabular component with a unique chamfered-cylinder design was inserted without cement in 134 hips. With use of this design, initial stability is achieved through a cylindrical interference fit with the peripheral rim of the acetabulum, without the need for pegs,
