Beginning in December 1995, 193 patients (195 hips) were enrolled into this prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter investigational device exemption study. Ninety-eight patients (99 hips) with 46 polyethylene liners and 53 metal liners had minimum 5-year follow-up (mean, 5.7 years). Average follow-up, Harris hip score improvement, and radiographic analysis were not statistically different between groups. No stress shielding or osteolysis was observed in either group. Three polyethylene liners and no metal liners had acetabular radiolucencies <1 mm in 1 or more zones. There have been no device-related complications, no acetabular revisions performed, and none pending in either group. Based on these mid-term results, the authors conclude that a metal-on-metal articulation represents a viable alternative in young, high-demand, active patients.

Intraprosthetic Dislocation Following Dual Mobility Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrieval Analysis Study.

Background: Dual mobility (DM) implants in total hip arthroplasty provide excellent range of motion with low dislocation rates. A complication of this design is intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD), where the polyethylene (PE) liner dissociates from the femoral head. In older designs, IPD occurred due to a small head size and late PE wear with head-capture-mechanism failure.

A 73-year-old female experienced an atraumatic fracture of a BIOLOX delta ceramic femoral head following uncomplicated right total hip arthroplasty using a ceramic-on-polyethylene bearing. The fracture occurred post-operatively, as revealed by radiography after the patient reported a clunking sensation and leg shortening. Revision surgery involved replacing the fractured head and liner with careful removal of ceramic debris.

Unlabelled: Introduction-Aim: Full-polyethylene glenosphere reverse shoulder arthroplasty (FP-RSA) known commonly as inverted-bearing concept utilizes a polyethylene glenosphere and metallic humeral liner. The aim was to assess mid-term outcomes of FP-RSA focusing on the incidence of scapular notching.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 24 consecutive primary FP-RSA performed between 2017 and 2020 was conducted.

Introduction: Metallosis, characterized by the collection of metallic debris in periarticular tissues, is primarily associated with metal-on-metal bearings in hip arthroplasty. This report presents a rare case of metallosis after metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) total hip arthroplasty (THA), highlighting diagnostic challenges and management strategies. Metallosis following MoP arthroplasty is extremely rare, with only a limited number of documented cases in the literature.
