Synopsis
50 patients (100 hips) underwent total hip replacement surgery, with one hip receiving alumina, and the opposite hip receiving ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), as the acetabular lining material (identical in geometry). This study aimed to evaluate changes in bone mineral density between these liner materials. The results at the end of the five year study indicated no significant ...
