Primary hip arthroplasty with 28-mm Metasul articulation.
Journal of Arthroplasty 2011 June
This follow-up study reports on 69 patients at mean 13 years with total hip arthroplasty using 28-mm Metasul (Zimmer, Winterthur, Switzerland) metal-on-metal articulation. These results are not transferable to large-diameter head metal-on-metal articulations. Four new revisions, 3 for disassociation of the liner and 1 for mechanical loosening of the acetabulum, occurred since the previous report of mean 7.3 years. The prevalent cause of late revision is disassociation, which suggests a high frictional torque or impingement in these articulation surfaces. No revision was done for osteolysis. Overall, of the original 127 hips, 116 (91%) were known to have maintained their original components.
