At 10 years, we reported survivorship of the Omnifit hydroxyapatite-coated femoral stem and the Omnifit-PSL porous-coated dual-radius acetabular shell (Stryker, Mahwah, NJ) with polyethylene liners sterilized by gamma radiation in air. Our 15-year follow-up examines survivorship and functional outcomes of this system. Ninety-two patients (98 hips) were identified from our database who had been involved with the prior study. The mean follow-up was 14.7 years (range, 11.8-17.0 years). Survival of the stem and cup was 98.8% and 69%, respectively. Osteolysis was seen in 56% of the proximal femur and 5% of the distal femur. This hydroxyapatite-coated stem continues to perform well at 15 years despite poor acetabular results. The performance of this acetabular component is consistent with previous literature.
