We examined initial polyethylene thickness, early polyethylene liner wear, and osteolysis in 350 primary, cementless total hip arthroplasties (THAs). All of the prostheses were of identical design and used Omnifit components. In the 32-mm head group, the mean liner wear correlated significantly with polyethylene thickness (P < .001) and increased rapidly with initial thinner polyethylene following a logarithmic model, although this increase was not statistically significant (r = −.633). Inadequate polyethylene thickness in the 32-mm head group was implicated as the major cause of higher liner wear. A minimal polyethylene thickness of 7 mm is recommended in cementless metal-backed THAs. The use of a large head combined with poor prosthetic design appeared to be responsible for the unacceptably high incidence of femoral osteolysis.
