In terms of FHP, this metanalysis shows less FHP for the VEPE than conventional PE. A longer follow-up period is required to evaluate whether the oxidation protection gained by Vitamin E results in lower wear rates, less osteolysis, and aseptic loosening compared to the conventional PE in the long term.
