Popis: The aim of the present study was to investigate the long-term outcome and the wear characteristics of two distinct types of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) liners in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We conducted a retrospective clinical study on patients which were treated with total hip arthroplasty using either Enduron polyethylene (Enduron PE) or Trilogy polyethylene (Trilogy PE) liners based on a minimum of ten year follow up data. Morphological analyses of wear particles from tissue samples, which were harvested during revision surgeries, were also performed. A total of 79 THAs in the Enduron group and 55 THAs in the Trilogy group were available for analysis. Kaplan-Meier survival with revision for wear-related complications as the endpoint of the Enduron PE liners was lower than that of Trilogy PE liners at ten years (93.5 % and 100 %, P = 0.03). The Enduron group had higher mean linear wear rate than that of the Trilogy group (0.20 ± 0.09 and 0.09 ± 0.03 mm/year, P
