Brief Summary
A prospective randomized study comparing two types of cemented acetabular components, a highly-crosslinked polyethylene or conventional polyethylene in total hip arthroplasty. Primary outcome are component wear measured by RSA, secondary outcomes are migration and complications. Patients are evaluated 5 years postoperatively.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Magnitude of Polyethylene Wear
The size of the femoral component penetration into the polyethylene measured in millimeters per year and the volumetric annual wear millimetres with radiostereometric (RSA) analysis of radiographs.
0-5 years
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Magnitude of Cup Migration
0-5 years
Surgical complications
0-5 years
Study Arms (2)
Acetabular cup HXLPE (Intervention)
EXPERIMENTALRandomization to HXLPE acetabular component.
Acetabular cup Conventional PE (control)
EXPERIMENTALRandomization to Coventional PE as control group
Interventions
Patients are randomized between two types of cup components in total hip arthroplasty. Identical cups made of either highly-crosslinked polyethylene or conventional polyethylene.
