Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of liner cementation into a stable acetabular shell using a metal-inlay polyethylene liner in 39 revision total hip arthroplasties. After an average of 2.8 years, 1 cemented liner dislodged from its metal shell at a postoperative 4 years. In the other 38 hips, mean Harris hip scores improved from 65 preoperatively to 86.9 at the final follow-up. Eighteen patients were rated as having excellent results, 17 as good, and 3 as fair. There were no changes in cup position and no cases of osteolytic lesion progression around the femoral and acetabular components in the last follow-up radiographs. Metal-inlay polyethylene liner cementation into a stable acetabular shell was found to provide an alternative option with short-term excellent results, and it also offers more liner options, the preservation of bone stock, and lower surgical morbidity.
