Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the outcomes of cementation of cross-linked polyethylene (PE) liner in a well-fixed metal shell in 23 hips with an average follow-up period of 6 years. The mean Harris hip score was 69.6 ± 12 (range, 46-83) points preoperatively. The average postoperative follow-up was 72.3 months (range, 56-100 months). At the final follow-up, the mean Harris hip score was 95.5 ± 3 (84-100) points. There was no change in the bone-shell interface. No new osteolytic lesions were identified. The lesions impacted with bone graft had united completely. The remaining osteolytic lesions had decreased in size. There was no recurrent osteolysis, hip dislocation, component migration, and failure at the cement-metal interface. The results of the current study revealed that cementation of cross-linked PE liner into a well-fixed shell provided good midterm durability. |
