Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomaterials science
  • Medical device research

Background:

  • Conventional polyethylene in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is prone to wear.
  • Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) demonstrates improved wear resistance.
  • The impact of XLPE on wear-related revision rates in THA remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the wear-related revision rates of THA using XLPE versus conventional polyethylene.
  • To evaluate secondary outcomes including osteolysis incidence, linear wear rate, and linear head penetration.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review and meta-analysis of Level I studies (RCTs).
  • Searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials up to July 2013.
  • Included RCTs comparing XLPE with conventional polyethylene using a 28-mm femoral head and a minimum 5-year follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Eight studies with 735 patients were analyzed.
  • XLPE significantly reduced radiological wear and linear head penetration compared to conventional polyethylene.
  • No significant difference was found in osteolysis incidence or wear-related revision rates between the two groups.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence suggests XLPE reduces radiological wear but not osteolysis or revision rates at midterm follow-up.
  • Limitations include variations in XLPE manufacturing and short follow-up periods.
  • Further long-term randomized controlled trials are necessary to confirm the benefits of XLPE in THA.
