The 3 mm thick composite cup is designed to conserve acetabular bone stock and reproduce a near-physiological stress distribution to the adjacent bone. The cup is intended to articulate against a large diameter ceramic femoral head to produce a low-wear bearing couple that generates minimal wear debris.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A prospective, two-centre clinical study of the MITCH PCR cup was started in January 2007, to verify its safety and performance. Twenty-five MITCH PCR cups were implanted by three surgeons. There were 12 men and 13 women, with a mean age of 67.9 years (range 57.4 to 74.9). The mean Oxford hip score improved from 19.6 (SD 7.5) preoperatively to 43.5 (SD 7) at 3 years. The mean Harris hip score improved from 52.9 (SD 7) to 91.4 (SD 13.8) and the Euroqol-5D score increased from 62.6 (SD 18.4) to 82.8 (SD 19). One revision of the acetabular cup was undertaken at 21 months for squeaking. This has been investigated and modification of the articular geometry has resolved the problem, on in-vitro testing. Radiological analysis showed good early osseointegration of the MITCH PCR cup. However at three years, five cases of acetabular component migration and calcar resorption were observed. Three patients have subsequently undergone revision of the acetabular cup, at 41, 42 and 50 months respectively. The cause of the osteolysis is the subject of on-going investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5301\/hip.2012.10291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,6]],"date-time":"2012-12-06T06:26:32Z","timestamp":1354775192000},"page":"598-606","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Three-Year Prospective Clinical and Radiological Results of a New Flexible Horseshoe Acetabular Cup"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Richard E.","family":"Field","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre, Epsom, Surrey - UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karthig","family":"Rajakulendran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre, Epsom, Surrey - UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vasanth K.","family":"Eswaramoorthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, St. Peter's Hospital, Chertsey, Surrey - UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Rushton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedic Research Unit, University of Cambridge, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge - UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.88B12.18345"},{"key":"bibr2-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.H.01829"},{"key":"bibr3-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.91B4.21933"},{"key":"bibr4-HIP.2012.10291","unstructured":"National Joint Registry for England and Wales. 7th Annual Report. 2010."},{"key":"bibr5-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.91B2.20473"},{"key":"bibr6-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/17453671003685400"},{"key":"bibr7-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.20742"},{"key":"bibr8-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.77B5.7559717"},{"key":"bibr9-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.83B2.10562"},{"key":"bibr10-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11999-007-0043-0"},{"key":"bibr11-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0883-5403(93)90006-P"},{"key":"bibr12-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17453670610045948"},{"key":"bibr13-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10856-007-3256-6"},{"key":"bibr14-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10856-007-3113-7"},{"key":"bibr15-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.87B10.16559"},{"key":"bibr16-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"304","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.J.01710","volume":"93","author":"Field R.E.","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Br."},{"key":"bibr17-HIP.2012.10291","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"PolineniV.K., WangA., EssnerA.
