Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) requires components that meet a variety of patient factors and needs. This investigation evaluated survivorship of the PINNACLE Acetabular Cup System in primary total hip arthroplasty at 5-10 years. Methods: In total, 1592 hips (1473 subjects) were enrolled in a multi-center, non-comparative, open-label study of the PINNACLE system: N = 896 metal-on-polyethylene (MOP), N = 667 metal-on-metal (MOM), N = 27 ceramic-on-polyethylene, and N = 2 unknown articulation. Harris Hip Score, Short Form 36, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and radiographs were collected through 10 years. Kaplan-Meier device survivorship was estimated. Results: There were 41 revisions (23 MOP, 17 MOM, 1 ceramic-on-polyethylene) through 10 years: 56.5% of MOP revisions were for instability and 41.2% of MOM revisions were for adverse local tissue reaction. Kaplan-Meier device survivorship (N with further follow-up) was 97.0% (N = 720) at 5 years and 94.7% (N = 77) at 10 years. Conclusions: Medium- to long-term survivorship estimates were similar or better than other studies and registries for the PINNACLE system. Level of Evidence: III.
