Long-term outcome of a metal-on-polyethylene cementless hip resurfacing.
The Journal of Arthroplasty(2014)
摘要
Due to the well-documented problems surrounding metal-on-metal bearings, the use of hip resurfacing has declined. Since the potential benefits of hip resurfacing remain desirable, it may be beneficial to investigate the long-term outcome of hip resurfacings using metal-on-polyethylene in the 1980’s. We report the long-term survivorship and modes of failure of a cementless metal-on-polyethylene resurfacing (n=178) with different porous ingrowth surfaces. While acetabular loosening was absent, a high incidence of femoral failures (femoral loosening=18.1%, osteolytic neck fracture=21%) occurred despite using the same ingrowth surface for both components. Ongoing developments using the lessons learned from these previous generation components and utilizing modern low wear materials, e.g., cross-linked polyethylene, may lead to improved implants for future hip resurfacings.
