The concept of stainless steel dual mobility cups in total hip arthroplasty has demonstrated very low long-term instability rates and a 98% survival rate after 12 years. We systematically implanted titanium alloy acetabular cups during a one year period. The purpose of our retrospective study was to report the 18-year clinical outcome data in a homogeneous and continuous series of 103 primary total hip replacements after implantation of a cementless titanium cup. All patients were implanted with NOVAE Ti (SERF) cups made of titanium alloy combined with a retentive polyethylene liner and a 22.2 mm
