Abstract
Little is known about the clinical application of highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) blended with vitamin E. This study evaluates an uncemented iso-elastic monoblock cup with vitamin E blended HXLPE. 112 patients were followed up for 2. years. 95.5% completed the follow-up. The mean VAS score for patient satisfaction was 8.8 and the mean Harris Hip Score was 94.2. In 7 cases initial gaps behind the cup were observed, which disappeared completely during follow-up in 6 cases. The mean femoral head penetration rate was 0.055. mm/year. No adverse reactions or abnormal mechanical behavior was observed with the short term use of vitamin E blended HXLPE. This study shows the promising performance of this cup and confirms the potential of vitamin E blended HXLPE.
