Background: Modern bearing surface options have increased implant survivorship after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We utilized data from the National Joint Registry for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man (NJR) to analyze implant survivorship after THAs with uncemented acetabular components with different bearing combinations.
Methods: Polyethylene (PE) manufacturing properties supplied by the manufacturers were used to subdivide the NJR data set into cross-linked PE (XLPE) and conventional PE groups. Overall and cause-specific revisions for various bearing combinations were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression survival analyses.
Results: Of 420,339 primary THAs, 8,025 were revised during an average follow-up period of 4.4 years (maximum, 13.3 years). In the Cox regression model with metal on conventional PE as the reference, the lowest risk of revision for any reason was for ceramicized metal on XLPE (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.48, 0.71), followed by ceramic on XLPE (HR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.60, 0.72), ceramic on PE (HR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.66, 0.82), ceramic on ceramic (HR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.72, 0.82), and metal on XLPE (HR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.76, 0.87). A similar pattern was observed when patients under the age of 55 years were analyzed independently. Younger age, male sex, and cementless stem fixation were associated with a higher risk of revision.
Conclusions: In a fully adjusted model, ceramicized metal on XLPE and ceramic on XLPE were associated with the lowest risk of revision for any reason. This finding was sustained when patients under the age of 55 years were analyzed independently. On the basis of the NJR data set, use of XLPE markedly reduces the risk of revision.

Background: The increased availability of dual-mobility acetabular constructs (DMCs) provides surgeons with a newer option to increase the effective femoral head size in revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). We sought to evaluate risks of re-revision and prosthetic dislocation following rTHA involving a DMC compared with other articulations.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted using data from a U.

Background And Purpose: We aimed to evaluate polyethylene (PE) wear, cup migration, and clinical outcome over 10 years in total hip arthroplasties (THA) using different articulations.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of 150 patients randomized into 5 groups, using different articulations: Charnley/Charnley Ogee for steel and conventional polyethylene (CPE), or Spectron EF/Reflection with either CPE or highly cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) cups, paired with heads made of either cobalt-chromium (CoCr) or oxidized zirconium (OxZr). All cups were cemented.
Partial Discharge Signal Pattern Recognition of Composite Insulation Defects in Cross-Linked Polyethylene Cables.

To investigate the pattern recognition of complex defect types in XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) cable partial discharges and analyze the effectiveness of identifying partial discharge signal patterns, this study employs the variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm alongside entropy theories such as power spectrum entropy, fuzzy entropy, and permutation entropy for feature extraction from partial discharge signals of composite insulation defects. The mean power spectrum entropy (PS), mean fuzzy entropy (FU), mean permutation entropy (PE), as well as the permutation entropy values of IMF2 and IMF13 (Pe) are selected as the characteristic quantities for four categories of partial discharge signals associated with composite defects. Six hundred samples are selected from the partial discharge signals of each type of compound defect, amounting to a total of 2400 samples for the four types of compound defects combined.

Total Hip Arthroplasty has been a revolutionary technique in restoring mobility to patients with damaged hip joints. The introduction of modular components of the hip prosthesis allowed for bespoke solutions based on the requirements of the patient. The femoral stem is designed with a conical trunnion to allow for assembly of different femoral head sizes based on surgical requirements.
