Durable bone fixation of uncemented porous-coated acetabular cups can be observed at a long-term, however, polyethylene (PE) wear and osteolysis may affect survivorship. Accurate wear measurements correlated with clinical data may offer unique research information of clinical interest about this highly debated issue. We assessed the clinical and radiological outcome of a single uncemented total hip replacement (THR) system after twenty years analysing polyethylene wear and the appearance of osteolysis.Introduction
