The Metasul metal-on-metal articulation in primary total hip replacement: clinical and radiological results at ten years.

29 Sep 2008 We report the clinical and radiological outcome at ten years of 104 primary total hip replacements (100 patients) using the Metasul metal-on-metal bearing. Of these, 52 had a cemented Stuehmer-Weber polyethylene acetabular component with a Metasul ... Read more...

The results of the titanium-coated RM acetabular component at 20 years: a long-term follow-up of an uncemented primary total hip replacement.

29 Sep 2008 In a prospective study, 93 unselected consecutive uncemented hip arthroplasties were performed in 80 patients using the titanium-coated RM acetabular component and the CLS femoral component. The mean age of the patients at operation was 52 years ... Read more...

Correlation between inclination of the acetabular component and metal ion levels in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing replacement.

29 Sep 2008 We examined the relationships between the serum levels of chromium and cobalt ions and the inclination angle of the acetabular component and the level of activity in 214 patients implanted with a metal-on-metal resurfacing hip replacement. Each ... Read more...
