[Comparison of early clinical effects of two hip prosthesis designs between ceramics to ceramics and metal to polyethylene].

OBJECTIVE
To retrospectively study early therapeutic effects of the ceramics to ceramics prosthesis design in treating hip disease.


METHODS
From October 2007 to September 2010, 42 patients (44 hips) with hip disease underwent replacement of total hip. Hip prosthesis designs included the Pinnacle ceramics to ceramics and the Duraloc metal to polyethylene,produced by DePuy Company, all were non-bone cement type of artificial hip joint. Twenty patients (22 hips) were performed with ceramics to ceramics total hip prosthesis (CoC group, there were 12 males and 8 females, aged from 21 to 49 years) and 22 patients (22 hips) were performed with metal to polyethylene total hip prosthesis (MoP group, there were 13 males and 9 females, aged from 42 to 55 years). All the surgical approachs were posterolateral, and the routine anticoagulation and the corresponding functional exercise were performed after operation. The follow-up time was 6 months at least including clinical and radiographic observation. Measured the motion of joint and evaluated the function of hip joint according to Harris classification.


RESULTS
All clinical effects were satisfactory and no dislocation ,loosening,infection, deep venous thrombosis and other complications occurred. There was no statistical significance in Harris scoring and the motion of joint between two groups before and after operation (P>0.05).


CONCLUSION
The clinical effect of ceramics to ceramics prosthesis design in improving clinical symptoms and the motion of joint is coordinate with metal to polyethylene total hip prosthesis, however, its advantages and long-term efficacy need further observing. The ceramics to ceramics prosthesis design may be a good choice for the young patients with hip disease because of its good wear resistance.
