Summary

Five year migration results of 49 large-head metal-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasties show good implant stability and no association between implant migration and metal-ions levels, stem and cup position, or femoral bone mineral density.

Introduction

The failure mechanism of metal-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty has been related to metal wear-debris and pseudotumor, but it is unknown whether implant fixation is affected by metal wear-debris.
