Abstract | Background: Free radicals formed in the cross-linking process may over time alter the mechanical properties of highly cross-linked polyethylene. Vitamin E-infused highly cross-linked polyethylene was therefore developed to achieve low wear-rate and good mechanical properties in the long term. Aim: To present 6-year results from the initial randomised controlled trial. Patients and methods: We measured wear and periacetabular bone remodelling in cementless total hip arthroplasty; 32- or 36-mm Biolox Delta heads and vitamin E-infused highly cross-linked polyethylene (E-Poly) were used. Markerless radiosterometric analysis measured the Results: In the proximal direction the wear for 32- and 36-mm heads was 0.15 mm (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08-0.21) and 0.06 mm (95% CI, -0.002-0.12), respectively ( Conclusion: Wear of this vitamin E-infused highly cross-linked polyethylene is still low at 6-year follow-up, with no significant difference in wear from 3 months to 6 years between 32- and 36-mm heads. |
