were grouped into a small gap group, <strong>the</strong> cases with a gap <strong>of</strong> 3mm or more were grouped into alarge gap group. We compared <strong>the</strong> changes in <strong>the</strong> height <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gap, in <strong>the</strong> cup inclination angleand <strong>the</strong> cup migration between <strong>the</strong> groups.ResultsGaps were identified in 21 <strong>of</strong> 166 hips (13%) on <strong>the</strong> postoperative radiograph. The averageheight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gaps was 2.4 mm (0.56-4.5mm). Of <strong>the</strong> 21 hips with gaps, <strong>the</strong>re was no revisionduring <strong>the</strong> follow up period. 12 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 21 hips were classified into <strong>the</strong> small gap group, 9 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>21 hips were classified into <strong>the</strong> large gap group. In <strong>the</strong> small gap group, <strong>the</strong>re were no changes<strong>of</strong> cup inclination angle <strong>of</strong> more than 3 degrees nor was <strong>the</strong>re cup migration <strong>of</strong> more than 3mm.On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, in <strong>the</strong> large gap group, 6 <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 9 hips showed reductions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cupinclination angle <strong>of</strong> more than 3 degrees with 3mm or more <strong>of</strong> migration during <strong>the</strong> initial 3months (P
