Modular acetabular components with alumina ceramic liners are currently used in total hip arthroplasty, but concerns have emerged regarding their high stiffness, which could cause impairment of stability, stress-shielding phenomena, and loosening. The purpose of the present biomechanical investigation was to compare the in-vitro initial stability of a modular press-fit acetabular component using a polyethylene liner and using an alumina liner. The initial stability was investigated by measuring the micromotion between the implant and the acetabulum during the application of physiological load (2.39 kN). The micromotion of the acetabular component was investigated in 10 acetabuli using a polyethylene liner and in 10 acetabuli using an alumina liner. Micromotion was assessed at the level of the Os ilium, Os pubis, and Os ischium using 3 electromagnetic transducers. The transducers have a sensitivity of 1 micron and a range of measurement of 500 microns. All implants have been fixed on human pelves made of polyurethane. Measurement of implant micromotion showed stable conditions at the level of the three main sectors of the acetabulum during all tests. No statistically significant differences of results were observed between the group of specimens with polyethylene liner and the group of specimens with alumina liner. The mean micromotion values of the uncemented cups were similar to the mean micromotion values of 10 cemented cups investigated to achieve comparative data of stability. In conclusion, the modular acetabular components inserted using an alumina liner showed a satisfactory initial stability in-vitro. The results do not contrast with those achieved using the same cup inserted with a polyethylene liner.
