| Study Results
Following the reintroduction of metal-on-metal articulating surfaces for total hip arthroplasty in Europe in 1988, Wright Medical developed a surface arthroplasty prosthetic system using a metal-on-metal articulation. The present study describes the clinical and radiographic results of the first 400 hips treated with metal-on-metal hybrid surface arthroplasties at an average follow-up of three and a half years. The studies highlighted in this section validate Wright's commitment to our customers and the patients they serve. Wright is committed to the continual improvement in the wear and functional performance of metal-on-metal hip bearings through design, material and production process optimization.
