Is Ceramic-on-Ceramic THA Superior to Ceramic-on-Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene THA in Patients Less Than 55 Years Old?
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating COC THA and COP THA for Osteoarthritis, Hip and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 148 participants.
Detailed Summary
Methods to reduce the revision rate of total hip arthroplasties (THAs) because of wear-related issues are important to examine, particularly because younger patients have a disproportionately high risk of revision. The investigators hoped to follow up patients and see if long-term Harris hip scores and WOMAC scores better in younger patients with a ceramic-on-ceramic (COC) THA compared with those with a ceramic-on-highly-cross-linked polyethylene (COP) THA.
