Clinical correlation of femoral component migration in hip resurfacing arthroplasty analyzed by Einzel-Bild-Röntgen-analyze-femoral component analysis.
Hip resurfacing arthroplasty using metal-on-metal bearings has become increasingly popular. Wear of these bearings has been imperceptible on plain radiographs. Migration analysis studies may represent the opportunity to detect early failures and evaluate long-term prosthetic survival. The authors retrospectively reviewed 29 hips in a consecutive series of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasties with a long-term clinical follow-up (average 8.7 years) to analyze the femoral component migration pattern by means of Einzel-Bild-Röntgen-Analyze-femoral component analysis (EBRA-FCA). Femoral component migrations at 2 years and latest follow-up were compared with the known clinical outcomes. The authors' findings add validity to EBRA-FCA as a means to monitor femoral component migration and the clinical outcome of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty.
