Abstract

Purpose

Ceramic coatings have been used in metal-on-polyethylene (MOP) hips to reduce the risk of wear and also infection; the clinical efficacy of this remains unclear. This retrieval study sought to better understand the performance of coated bearing surfaces.

Methods

Forty-three coated MOP components were analysed post-retrieval for evidence of coating loss and gross polyethylene wear. Coating loss was graded using a visual semi-quantitative protocol. Evidence of gross polyethylene wear was determined by radiographic analysis and visual inspection of the retrieved implants.

Results

All components with gross polyethylene wear (n = 10) were revised due to a malfunctioning acetabular component; 35 % (n = 15) of implants exhibited visible coating loss and the incidence of polyethylene wear in samples with coating loss was 54 %, significantly (p = 0.02) elevated compared to samples with intact coatings (14 %).

Conclusions

In this study we found evidence of coating loss on metal femoral heads which was associated with increased wear of the corresponding polyethylene acetabular cups.

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.
