Abstract
Large-diameter modular metal-on-metal (MOM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) may offer reduction in wear debris and improved stability. Four studies are summarized here that used a large-diameter modular MOM system. A total of 1076 THAs were performed. This article presents data from 779 of these THAs with minimum 2-year follow-up (mean, 4.2 years) or revision since index THA (21 hips, with 1 more pending). Overall survivorship at 2 years was 98.6%; at 5 years, it was 97.0%. Seven revisions for an adverse reaction to metallic debris (ARMED), and 1 additional pending revision for ARMED, showed marked variability in presenting symptoms and intraoperative and postoperative findings. Data show good clinical performance of the modular MOM system, but suggest that surgeons must be diligent in monitoring MOM THA patients and aggressive in diagnosing and revising patients with a potential ARMED.
