NS = not stated, SD = standard deviation

A. Study author and year

B. Hips revised for ARMD (adverse reactions to metal debris)

R: Resurfacing arthroplasty

T: Total hip arthroplasty

C. Female hips, % (n)

D. Mean age (range) at revision in years

E. Mean time to revision (range) in years

F. Mean follow-up time after revision (range) in years

G. Frequency of complications, % (n)

H. Frequency of re-revision, % (n)

I. Main reasons for re-revision surgery, % (n)

j. Functional outcome: Functional outcome scoring systems: OHS (Oxford Hip Score) = 0–48 (48 best outcome) (Dawson et al. 1996, Murray et al. 2007); HHS (Harris Hip Score) = 0–100 (100 best outcome) (Harris 1969); HOOS (Hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score) = 0–100 (100 best outcome) (Klassbo et al. 2003); WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) = 0–100 (0 best out-come) (Bellamy et al. 1988).

a

Studies did not provide the relevant data specifically for the cohort of patients undergoing revision for adverse reactions to metal debris (but rather for the whole cohort of metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty revisions that they reported on).
