Abstract |
Background |
To avoid wear-induced osteolysis, ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) and metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings have been developed. At present, there are no direct material related clinical comparisons between cementless total hip arthroplasty with CoC and MoM at more than 5-year follow-up. The bearing that is more likely to prevent osteolysis is still controversial. Therefore, we performed a retrospective case control study evaluating CoC and MoM cementless THAs in order to:
– compare the longevity and complications for CoC and MoM THAs at 5–10 years postoperatively;
– compare the incidence of osteolysis between both type THAs;
– evaluate pseudotumors in MoM THAs.
Hypothesis |
CoC THAs will have a lower rate of osteolysis, better longevity, and better clinical outcomes than MoM THAs.
Patients and methods |
Ninety-six hips underwent CoC THAs, and 56 hips underwent MoM THA (Ultamet, Pinnacle, Depuy). Average patient age at the time of surgery was 57.1 years (range, 28 to 77 years).
Results |
There were no differences with regard to the Harris hip score (89.5 and 90.3 for the CoC and MoM groups, respectively). Osteolysis (9 hips, 14.3%) among MoM THAs were significantly more frequently observed compared to CoC THAs (2 hips, 2.1%). Kaplan-Meier survival at 8 years with implant loosening or revision THA as the endpoint was 98.2% (95% CI: 87.8–99.8) for CoC, and 98.6% (95% CI: 90.2–99.8) for MoM (p=0.684). There was one audible squeaking (1.0%) and no ceramic fracture among CoC THAs. Five (8.9%) hips showed pseudotumors among MoM THAs.
Discussion |
CoC THAs had a low incidence of osteolysis. No significant difference was seen in the 8-year survival rate between implants, when using implant loosening and revision THA as endpoints. These data indicate that CoC THAs have excellent clinical and radiological outcomes, compared with MoM THAs. Ultamet MoM had a higher rate of osteolysis compared to other MoM bearings; the cup modularity (without polyethylene) and the use of 36mm heads as well as the process of production (after 2006) may play a significant role in the higher rate of osteolysis.
Level of evidence |
III, Case control study, case control retrospective design.
