The prevalence of elevated-rim polyethylene liner use in primary total hip arthroplasty in the New York State metropolitan area
In existing radiographic studies on primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) examining the spino-pelvic effect on THA instability, there is no control of the type of polyethylene liner used, which may be a significant confounder of the results. We sought to determine the prevalence of the use of elevate...
