Cementless Acetabular Socket Revisions Using Metasul Metal-on-Metal Bearings
Park, Kyung Soon; Yoon, Taek Rim; Song, Eun Kyoo; Lee, Keun BaeHip
Thirty-four hips were treated with cementless acetabular socket revisions using a metal-on-metal bearing. The causes of revision were aseptic loosening in 33 hips and septic loosening in 1 hip. Revisions were performed for acetabular sockets in 28 hips and for acetabular sockets and femoral stems in 6 hips. Mean follow-up duration was 6.2 years (range, 4.0-9.1 years), and mean Harris Hip Scores improved from 56 to 92 points. No hip required further revision for aseptic loosening. Focal femoral osteolysis newly developed in zone I in 1 hip, which was treated by curettage and bone grafting. The authors suggest that second-generation metal-on-metal bearings in cementless acetabular socket revisions can achieve good medium-term clinical and radiographic results.
