Components and materials used for total hip replacement: a review of the comparative clinical effectiveness

Authors' recommendations:
Based on evidence from a systematic review, there is no strong evidence indicating that ceramic on polyethylene implants are superior to metal on polyethylene implants, and some evidence that ceramic on ceramic implants require fewer revisions than metal on polyethylene hips after at least five years. Based on evidence from two non-randomized studies, modular stem implants may have lower early survival, but may be equal or superior to standard stems in the longer term and based on evidence from one randomized trial, large femoral head implants are likely beneficial over standard sized implants. More high quality comparative evidence, especially with respect to adverse events, is needed in order to draw strong conclusions.
