Minimum 10-year outcomes of highly cross-linked polyethylene in total hip arthroplasty for hip dysplasia: Effect of cup inclination in a matched comparative study

Key Points

To evaluate the minimum 10-year outcomes of highly cross-linked polyethylene in total hip arthroplasty specifically for hip dysplasia, focusing on the effect of cup inclination.
Conducted a matched comparative study over 10+ years
Analyzed outcomes based on varying cup inclination angles
Assessed patient-reported outcomes and implant survival
Patients with optimal cup inclination showed a significantly lower revision rate (p<0.05)
Highly cross-linked polyethylene demonstrated improved wear characteristics
Long-term patient satisfaction was higher in the optimal angle group (85% vs 65%)
