The Comparison of the #Polyeythlene #Wear Rates in Hybrid and #Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty with Stem as a Variant at 8 to 10 Yrs mid Term Follow Up by Lokesh Gudda Naik in BJSTR

#Polyethylene wear in both cemented and #uncemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) lead to generation of particles with their access to the interface which has been responsible for #periprosthetic osteolysis and subsequent loosening of cup and stem. Many studies have been published studying the pattern of polyethylene wear and its relation to the type of implant (cemented/ uncemented cup or ceramic/metal head) used. No study in our knowledge has strictly focused on the effect of cemented versus uncemented stem on the polyethylene wear rates. We tried to compare the polyethylene wear rates reckoned with software (Poly Ware REV 7) of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in hybrid and uncemented THA and its effect on complications of total hip replacements. We retrospectively reviewed #pre-matched 56 patients in uncemented group with 112 patients in hybrid group on the basis of polyethylene wear rate, revision rates and clinical issues, with mean follow up of 9.42 and 7.25 years (yrs.) respectively.
