The present evidence indicated the similar performance in survivorship among CoC , CoPc , CoPxl and MoPxl bearing implants , and that all likely have superiority compared with the MoM and MoPc bearing implants in THA procedures .
PURPOSE Although many  total hip bearing implants  are widely used all over the world , simultaneous comparisons across the numerous available bearing surfaces are rare .
The purpose of this study was to compare the survivorship of total hip arthroplasty ( THA ) with six available bearing implants .
Minimum five-year follow-up wear measurement of longevity highly cross-linked polyethylene cup against cobalt-chromium or zirconia heads.
We investigated the efficacy of combining highly cross-linked polyethylene with ceramic heads on further reduction in polyethylene wear compared with the combination with cobalt-chromium heads via PolyWare computer-assisted method . A prospect i ve cohort study was performed on 102 cementless total hip arthroplasties using Longevity ( Zimmer , Warsaw , Ind ) highly cross-linked polyethylene liners . Either  26-mm zirconia heads or 26-mm cobalt-chromium heads were r and omly used in 51 hips each . At a mean follow-up of 6.7 years , no significant differences were identified between the groups for total penetration rate and steady-state wear rate . Osteolysis was not observed in any hips in either group . In conclusion , no advantage was seen for the 26-mm zirconia head compared with the 26-mm cobalt-chromium head in this period
