Our study aimed to examine not only the incidence but also the impact of noise from two types of total hip replacement articulations: ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-polyethylene.
We performed a case-controlled study comparing subjective and objective questionnaire scores of patients receiving a ceramic-on-ceramic or a ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip replacement by a single surgeon.
There was a threefold higher incidence of noise from patients in the ceramic-on-ceramic group compared with the control group. The impact of this noise was significant for patients both subjectively and objectively.
This study reports a high patient impact of noise from ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacements. This has led to a change in practice by the principal author. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2014;3:183-6.
我们的研究不仅旨在观察两种全髋关节置换关节(陶瓷对陶瓷和陶瓷对聚乙烯)的噪声发生率,还旨在观察其噪声的影响。
我们进行了一项病例对照研究,比较了由同一位医生进行的陶瓷对陶瓷或陶瓷对聚乙烯全髋关节置换术患者的主观和客观问卷调查评分。
陶瓷对陶瓷组患者的噪声发生率是对照组的三倍。该噪声对患者的主观和客观影响均显著。
本研究报告了陶瓷对陶瓷全髋关节置换产生的噪声对患者的重大影响。这导致主要作者改变了治疗方法。
