Abstract

This prospective study was conducted to evaluate patient satisfaction and survival rate after metal-on-metal (MOM) THA.

A single surgeon operated on 13 young active patients. Follow-up was for 3 to 5 years and included radiological and clinical examination. Hip scores were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively.

Postoperative complications included one case of DVT, one case of heterotopic ossification and one periprosthetic fracture.

Although these are only short-term results, they correlate well with longer studies and confirm that MOM THA gives satisfactory results in young and more active patients.
