Total Hip Arthroplasty: National Bearing Surface Trends for 20- to 50-Year-Old Patients.
CONCLUSION: Over an 8-year period, considerable shifts in bearing surface trends have occurred across the United States among 20 to 50-year-old patients. Advantages of ceramic femoral heads, along with increased acceptance of highly cross-linked polyethylene, appear to be reasons for the selection of COP over other bearing surfaces.
