Abstract
The concerns surrounding the current generation of metal-on-metal (MoM) hips and the regulatory requirements regarding the reporting of revised MoM components highlight the need for a standardised method for measuring the wear of explanted MoM hip components. This paper reviews the published measurement and analysis protocols used in studies of explanted MoM hips. Because of differences in the measurement and analysis techniques, it is not reliable to directly compare measurements between studies. This paper considers the requirements for a standardised measurement protocol and forms the rationale for a proposed international standard.
