Abstract

Narrowing of the femoral neck after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthoplasty has been reported as a common radiologic feature, although its significance is still unknown. This study reports the presence and significance of neck narrowing in the first 500 consecutive Conserve® Plus metal-on-metal hip resurfacings in 431 patients.
