Background  The newest generation of cementless titanium-coated, isoelastic monoblock cup with vitamin E-blended highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) was introduced to the market in 2009. The aim of the present study was to obtain mid-term follow-up data including migration and wear analyses.    Methods  This prospective study investigated 101 primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) cases in 96 patients treated at a single institution. Patients were allowed full weight-bearing on the first day postoperatively. Harris hip score (HHS) and pain and satisfication on a visual analogue scale (VAS) were assessed at a mean follow-up of 79.0 months. Migration and wear were assessed using Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse (EBRA) software. Radiological acetabular bone alterations and complications were documented.    Results  At mid-term follow-up (mean 79.0 months, range: 51.8–101.7), 81 cases with complete clinical and radiological data were analyzed. Utilisable EBRA measurements were obtained for 42 hips. The mean HHS was 91.1 (range 38.0–100.0), VAS satisfaction was 9.6 (range 6.0–10.0), VAS rest pain was 0.2 (range 0.0–4.0), and VAS load pain was 0.6 (range 0.0–9.0). Mean migration was 0.86 mm (range: 0.0–2.56) at 24 months and 1.34 mm (range: 0.09–3.14) at 5 years, and the mean annual migration rate was 0.22 (range: − 0.24–1.34). The mean total wear was 0.4 mm (range: 0.03–1.0), corresponding to a mean annual wear rate of 0.06 mm per year (range: 0.0–0.17). Radiographic analysis did not reveal any cases of osteolysis, and no revision surgeries had to be performed.    Conclusions  After using vitamin-E blended HXLPE in cementless isoelastic monoblock cups, there were no obvious signs of osteolysis or aseptic loosening occurred. No patients required revision surgery after mid-term follow-up. Cup migration and wear values were well below the benchmarks considered predictive for potential future failure.    Trial registration  The trial registration number on  ClinicalTrials.gov :  NCT04322916  (retrospectively registered at 26.03.2020).
