Abstract
Metal on metal bearings were reintroduced into the United States for use in total hip arthroplasty approximately a decade ago. We evaluated a consecutive series cohort of 148 patients with 169 hips who underwent THR using a metal on metal bearing surface with a modular acetabular shell that had fixation augmentation with dome screws. At 3 to 8year follow-up, average 4.7years, only one component was revised (for femoral loosening). 3 hips demonstrated proximal femoral osteolysis and 3 hips demonstrated pelvic osteolysis. The average follow-up Harris Hip Score was 94 (range, 57–100). Although the results have been excellent, we continue to closely monitor these hips for any long term failures, or concerns.
