How long does a hip replacement lastLancet (London, England) 2019
How long does a hip replacement last? A systematic review and meta-analysis of case series and national registry reports with more than 15 years of follow-up.
Pooled registry data suggested that just under 60% of hip replacements last 25 years; case series reported higher survival than registries, which are considered less prone to bias.

NJR stemmed MoM failureLancet (London, England) 2012
Failure rates of stemmed metal-on-metal hip replacements: analysis of data from the National Joint Registry of England and Wales.
Stemmed metal-on-metal hips had significantly poorer survival than other bearings, with larger heads failing earlier, whereas larger heads improved survival for ceramic-on-ceramic bearings; younger women with large metal-on-metal heads had particularly high revision rates.
