Five-year results of metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty in Asian patients.
Clinical results of 50 metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasties in 45 Japanese patients were evaluated to a minimum follow-up of 5 years. The predominant diagnosis was developmental dysplasia or dislocation of the hip (70%). One patient died of an unrelated cause and another was lost to follow-up. Two hips received revision surgery, including 1 femoral neck fracture and 1 septic loosening. In the remaining 46 hips, 1 hip showed femoral component loosening. Clinical scores of the 46 hips were satisfactory at the final follow-up. The survival rate at 5 years was 96% when failure was attributed to revision for any reason. Metal-on-metal resurfacing arthroplasty in Japanese patients, who have a different distribution of hip diseases from European and American patients, showed similarly promising early clinical results.
