Mid-term results of a prospective randomised controlled trial comparing large-head metal-on-metal hip replacement to hip resurfacing using patient-reported outcome measures and objective functional task-based outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS: At mid-term follow-up, the revision rate of MoM articulation for THA is high (7.7%), being higher in large head MoM total hips versus resurfacing. Overall probability of 10-year survival is 92.3% (KM analysis, 95% for MoM THA and 98% for HR). The HR group had better functional parameters on gait-based tasks compared to THA group but this difference did not reach statistical significance. PMID: 32390475 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
