  1. Prosthesis 1 = Elektra Bimetal cementless cup, prosthesis 2 = Moovis press-fit dual-mobility cementless cup, prosthesis 3 = Elektra cemented polyethylene cup, prosthesis 4 = Motec cemented polyethylene cup, prosthesis 5 = Motec cementless titanium cup, prosthesis 6 = Elektra cementless cup. All patients were treated with ball and socket design prosthesis with different cup designs combined with cementless titanium metacarpal stems. DASH = The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand. Grip strength is measured in kg
