Abstract
In this study, we evaluate the mid-term functional and radiological outcomes of Ceramic on Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty (CoM THA) THA. 66 CoM THAs were performed between 2008 and 2010. These were evaluated and followed up in 2017-18, at a mean follow-up of 9 years to record the Oxford Hip Score [OHS] and whole blood Cobalt and Chrome levels. Our all cause revision rate was 4.5% (3 out of 66). At mid-term follow up, patients with CoM THAs are mostly asymptomatic with reasonable functional outcomes, we have reported similar revision rates in conjunction with raised blood metal ion levels and frequency of radiolucent lines.Entities:
