BACKGROUND: Highly cross-linked polyethylene with vitamin E (VE-HXLPE) has shown superior tribological properties and has been rapidly adopted in total hip arthroplasty. However, the majority of studies compare VE-HXLPE to conventional or moderately cross-linked polyethylene using standard femoral head sizes. This study's purpose was 2-fold: (1) compare radiographic femoral head penetration (FHP) between VE-HXLPE and HXLPE and (2) evaluate FHP in large femoral heads ≥40 mm.
METHODS: One hundred forty-two consecutive primary total hip arthroplasties using ceramic femoral heads (n = 84 VE-HXLPE; n = 58 HXLPE) in a single implant system were retrospectively reviewed. FHP was measured radiographically utilizing Martell method at 4-week, 1-year, and latest radiographs. FHP, cup position, and demographic variables were compared between VE-HXLPE and HXLPE liners.
RESULTS: Median linear FHP was lower for VE-HXLPE compared to HXLPE during the initial "bedding-in" period between 4-week and 1-year (0.383 vs 0.551 mm, P = .650) and between 1-year and latest follow-up (0.131 vs 0.270 mm/y, P = .636) although without statistical significance. Acetabular cup inclination and anteversion did not influence linear or volumetric FHP (P ≥ .204). Large femoral heads (≥40 mm) were predictive of higher FHP during the early bedding-in period (P ≤ .025) but did not have an effect beyond 1 year in multivariate regression with numbers available. No radiographic osteolysis was observed in any case.
CONCLUSION: These findings support others that VE-HXLPE is the optimal polyethylene bearing surface to minimize FHP during the bedding-in period and beyond. Surprisingly, large ceramic femoral heads appear to influence FHP during the initial bedding-in period but do not increase FHP beyond 1 year. Further longer term follow-up remains warranted.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.
