Bearing surfaces in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) may affect implant longevity and hence patient outcomes. This randomised clinical trial (RCT) determined how ceramic-on-ceramic bearing (CERAMIC) THA affected joint-specific pain, function and stiffness, and prosthesis fixation/longevity over 10 postoperative years compared with ceramic-on-highly-crosslinked-polyethylene bearing (POLYETHYLENE) THA. This is a follow-up to previously reported five year outcomes. Subjects aged less than 61 years were randomised to CERAMIC [n=48] or POLYETHYLENE [n=44] THA. Subjects were assessed using the Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the RAND 12-Item Health Survey (RAND-12) preoperatively, and at one, five and 10 years postoperatively. Plain radiographs were evaluated at 10 years for fixation and medical records were reviewed for revisions. Of 92 subjects, six (7%) died within 10 years; 68 (79%) survivors provided radiographic and/or clinical follow-up at 10 years postoperatively. Improvements seen at five years in both the WOMAC and RAND-12 were retained at 10 years with no group differences (p>0.48). There were no failures/loss of fixation related to bearing surfaces/wear in either group. Over 10 years, three subjects in the POLYETHYLENE group had revisions that were related to recurrent dislocation; two revisions were performed within two years of surgery and one further subject underwent revision at 7 years postoperatively. This is one of the first RCTs to examine 10 year outcomes between ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-highly-crosslinked-polyethylene bearing THA. Both bearing surfaces performed well out to 10 years in subjects who were less than 61 years at time of surgery.
