Abstract
Resurfacing systems use press-fit, monoblock, cobalt chrome alloy acetabular sockets because of the material's ability to withstand stresses while accommodating a large femoral head. Despite the widespread use of these types of sockets for both hip resurfacing and total hip replacement, there is a paucity of literature assessing the outcomes of these cups in particular. The 10 year survivorship of the Conserve® Plus monoblock acetabular component used in this study was 98.3% with small pelvic osteolytic lesions suspected in only 2.3%. This study highlights the excellent radiographic survivorship profile of the Conserve® Plus socket.
