Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is the Wear Rate of Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene in Total Hip Replacement Increased by Large Articulations : A Randomized Controlled Trial?
Answer: The wear rate of a larger 36-mm metal-on-XLPE articulation between 1 and 3 years following primary total hip arthroplasty was low and no greater than that of a 28-mm articulation. However, before a 36-mm metal-on-XLPE articulation is widely recommended, particularly in young active patients, long-term wear rates and association between wear and periprosthetic osteolysis should be determined.
Output (English): no
