Synopsis
41 patients were randomized to determine the difference in metal ion release between metal on metal and metal on polythethylene articulation in total hip arthroplasty. Patients received either a metal or polyethlyene acetabular component, and were followed up for a minimum of 10 years for clinical, radiographic, and metal ion concentration outcomes. Results at 10 year follow-up indicated that meta...
