More than 50% reduction of wear in polyethylene liners with alumina heads compared to cobalt-chrome heads in hip replacements: A 10-year follow-up with radiostereometry in 43 hips
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Excessive wear of acetabular liners in hip replacements may lead to osteolysis and cup loosening. Different head materials are currently used. We measured differences in wear between alumina and cobalt-chrome heads with the same polyethylene liner. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 39 pa...
