2. Bar graph showing the percentage of major diagnoses at the time of the index operation for patients who received the various types of bearings.
Bar graph showing the percentage of major diagnoses at the time of the index operation for patients who received the various types of bearings. MOM = metal-on-metal bearing, MOP = metal-on-polyethylene bearing, COC = ceramic-on-ceramic bearing, OA = osteoarthritis, ONFH = osteonecrosis of the femoral head, OASD = osteoarthritis secondary to dysplasia, PT = posttraumatic disorder, RA = rheumatoid arthritis, ID = other inflammatory diseases, and “other” = other diseases.

5. Comparison of mean age and mean postoperative activity for patients with three different bearing couples.
Comparison of mean age and mean postoperative activity for patients with three different bearing couples. Minimum and maximum data are indicated by range bars. Please note that the left-side y-axis is for age, and the right-side y-axis for activity. The distribution of age groups (i.e., younger than fifty years, younger than sixty-five years, and sixty-five years or older) in the particular group is presented by various patterns.

6. Survivals for the BICON-PLUS cups with different bearing couples: metal-on-polyethylene (MOP), metal-on-metal (MOM), and ceramic-on-ceramic (COC), with revision for any reason (Fig. 4-a) and revision due to aseptic loosening (Fig. 4-b) as the end points.

The significance between various groups is noted.
