Wear Analysis of Second-generation Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty.
A major limiting factor in the longevity of total hip replacement is the wear rate of the hip bearing. As manufacturing technology has improved during the past several decades, much attention has been focused on developing newer generations of polyethylene that have lower rates of wear while minimizing free radical formation and subsequent osteolysis. The turning point for the manufacture of po...
متن کاملCross-linked versus conventional polyethylene for total hip replacement: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials comparing cross-linked with conventional polyethylene liners for total hip replacement in order to determine whether these liners reduce rates of wear, radiological evidence of osteolysis and the need for revision. The MEDLINE, EMBASE and COCHRANE databases were searched from their inception to May 2010 for all t...
متن کاملTotal Hip Arthroplasty Using Metal Head on a Highly Cross-linked Polyethylene Liner
PURPOSE This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the clinical results and measure polyethylene liner wear in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with highly cross-linked polyethylene. MATERIALS AND METHODS Except for patients who had died or were unable to have follow-up at least 2 years, 60 of 78 hips that underwent THA were included this study. The mean age was 64.5 years (range, 25-81 y...
متن کامل[Polyethylene particles in synovial fluid after knee arthroplasty with a conventional or highly cross-linked polyethylene. Preliminary study].
AIM OF THE STUDY In recent years cross-linked polyethylenes have been developed in an attempt to reduce the wear, as has been demonstrated in knee simulators. The aim is to assess, by counting particles of polyethylene in synovial fluid, whether the reduction in wear is confirmed in patients with a highly crosslinked polyethylene prosthesis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective randomised study...
متن کاملOutcome in design-specific comparisons between highly crosslinked and conventional polyethylene in total hip arthroplasty
Background and purpose - Most registry studies regarding highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) have focused on the overall revision risk. We compared the risk of cup and/or liner revision for specific cup and liner designs made of either XLPE or conventional polyethylene (CPE), regarding revision for any reason and revision due to aseptic loosening and/or osteolysis. Patients and methods - Usi...
