Abstract
Background At the turn of the century, over one‑third of total hip arthroplasties comprised metal‑on‑metal bear‑
ings. As this patient population and their implants age, it is crucial to understand associated late failure modes
and expected long‑term functional outcomes. We report the long‑term results of a large metal‑on‑metal unce‑
mented total hip arthroplasty system with unique design characteristics compared to others that have been reported
with high failure rates.… Read the rest
JEL’s Jointmedica Polymotion Hip Resurfacing with Dr Bill Farrington 2023

Thomas Gross MD 7/10/2021
