The influence of wear of the articulation on clinical outcome \(HHS\) was evident. The best HHS results were noted in the M\-M articulation, and the worst in PE\- M articulation. Statistically significant influence on linear wear proved to be younger age of patients at time of surgery for the PE\-M articulation. During the study, a correlation between younger age of the patients at the time of surgery and a better clinical outcome \(HHS\) after 10 years was only observed in the M\-M articulation. Conclusion\: Among the many factors affecting the survival of implants, the type of articulation seem to be the most important. The highest percentage of survival of implants has been demonstrated in the M\-M articulation, whereas the worst in PE\- M. Loosening of prosthesis was dependent on the degree of wear of the articulation and occurred the earliest in PE\-M articulation. The clinical evaluation \(HHS\) is useful, and deterioration of outcome may indirectly confirm the above phenomenon. The articulation in which polyethylene is a component, the material of the femoral prosthetic head plays an essential role. Metal head is responsible for greater polyethylene wear comparison with a ceramic head. The PE\-M articulation significantly reduces th"]
