The Durom Acetabular Component. A Concise Follow-Up of Early Revision Rates at a Minimum of 2 Years

Abstract

We report our experience with 143 Durom acetabular components. Our data show a survivorship of 99.2% at 5 years, (95% CI 94.8-99.9), which is not consistent with other reports in the literature of high early failure rates. The true natural history of this component is yet to unfold completely.

Clinical and radiological outcomes with the Durom™ acetabular cup for large-diameter total hip arthroplasty: 177 implants after a mean of 80months

“…Our data obtained after 80 months show a steady decline in survival over time with no Table 6 Comparison of cup revision rates in published studies of Durom TM cup total hip arthroplasty. sudden drop, in contradiction to results reported by Ng et al [24] and Hutt et al [25]. None of the factors assessed in our study was significantly associated with revision surgery or ARMD.…”

“…This advantage of using femoral heads measuring at least 36 mm in diameter has also been reported with other bearing couples such as ceramic-on-ceramic and metal-on-polyethylene [22]. Our 4.5% rate of failure due to the Durom TM cup is slightly lower than previously reported rates, which range from 0.8% to 31% (mean, 11%; median, 8.7%) after shorter mean follow-ups [11][12][13][14][15][22][23][24][25] (Table 6). With other cups, surgical revision is also required in some cases.…”
