Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The Reflection 1 or 5 cup (Smith and Nephew) with a porous coating and a cemented Spectron stem (Smith and Nephew) were used in a previous trial. Ceramic-ceramic group received a liner and head of aluminium oxide ceramic. Zhou Z-K, Li MG, Borlin N, Wood DJ, Nivbrant B.

Statistical methods / analysis
Due to the high precision of RSA, excessively migrating prostheses can be discriminated, and failure predicted, using only a small sample size: about 15–25 patients (Valstar et al. 2005)

Summary
Brief summary
We propose to follow up 61 participants from a previous randomized controlled trial conducted in 2001-2002 at SCGH and Hollywood Private Hospital, which randomized participants for total hip replacement to either a ceramic-ceramic or metal-highly-crosslinked-plastic bearing surface. The 12-year outcomes, in terms of radiographically measured wear rate and implant migration, and clinical findings will be determined and presented for each group.
