Introduction: Electron beam irradiated highly cros-slinked polyethylene has been used in total hip arthroplasty for over 8 years. Due to its low wear characteristics, the use of femoral heads that are greater than 32mm in diameter is now available, allowing for an increase in range of motion and increased stability against dislocation when necessary. The purpose of this study is to provide a summary report on the radiographic analysis of the longest term data available on primary THR patients receiving

Aims. Limited implant survival due to aseptic cup loosening is most commonly responsible for revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). Advances in implant designs and materials have been crucial in addressing those challenges. Vitamin E-infused
Background. Cross-linked polyethylene has much less wear than conventional polyethylene and can used in a more bone conserving thickness of 4 mm. We have used it for hip resurfacing since 2001. Questions/Purposes. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a
