We reviewed the literature on the currently available choices of bearing surface in total hip
replacement (THR). We present a detailed description of the properties of articulating …

There is a global tendency to rejuvenate joint diseases, and serious diseases such as
arthrosis and arthritis develop in 90% of people over 55 years of age. They are …

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure for patients suffering from hip pain eg
from osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, or hip fractures. The satisfaction of patients undergoing …

BACKGROUND Total hip replacement (THR) involves the replacement of a damaged hip
joint with an artificial hip prosthesis. Resurfacing arthroplasty (RS) involves replacement of …

Importance There are concerns about increased mortality in patients with metal-on-metal
bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Objective To determine the mortality and the …

Background We aimed to make comparisons of different bearing surfaces in patients after
cementless total hip arthroplasty. Methods The network meta-analysis was guided by the …

Metal-on-metal (MoM) hip replacements were used for almost a decade before adverse
reactions to metal debris (ARMD) were found to be a true clinical problem. Currently, there is …

The present systematic review investigated the concentration of chromium (Cr) and cobalt
(Co) in serum in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA). The first outcome …

Introduction: We have investigated the revision rates of all bearing surface combinations for
primary total hip replacement (THR) registered on the New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR) to …

Articulating components should minimise the generation of wear particles in order to
optimize long-term survival of the prosthesis. A good understanding of tribological properties …
