Abstract We evaluated the effect of the inclination angle, position, and containment of 53 cementless cups inserted in patients with congenital hip disease (CHD), after a minimum of 10 years of follow-up. The polyethylene wear rate was significantly greater when the cup was placed in more than 45° i...
