Ceramic Hip Replacement History
Sir John Charnley, in the early 1960s, began the orthopedic revolution of joint replacement surgery with his low-friction arthroplasty. Years earlier, he had been unsuccessful with a similar design, b...

Ceramic Versus Metal Femoral Heads in Combination With Polyethylene Cups: Long-Term Wear Analysis at 20 Years
Bearing surfaces are an important implant-related factor in the process of wear and resulting osteolysis. Especially, polyethylene (PE) wear is known to be a major reason for aseptic loosening of the ...

Short-term Wear Analysis and Clinical Performance of Large Ceramic Heads on Highly Cross-linked Polyethylene in Young and Active Patients
We hypothesized that large ceramic head articulation against highly cross-linked polyethylene in young and active patients would have high safety for dislocation and fracture and low wear rates. Wear ...

Does High-Activity Behavior Compromise Outcome at a 9-14-Year Interval Following a Ceramic-on-Ceramic Total Hip Arthroplasty? A Preliminary Report
Ninety-five ceramic-on-ceramic hips from a single center were reviewed to investigate whether patients' postoperative UCLA activity level of 9 or 10 in the ensuing 9-14 years following surgery negativ...

Uncemented Ceramic-on-Ceramic Bearing Couple for Dysplastic Osteoarthritis: A 5- to 11-Year Follow-up Study
The ceramic-on-ceramic bearing couple (CoC) has a potential to improve the longevity of hip arthroplasty. Dysplastic patients are relatively young and have high activity; therefore, the longevity of t...

Absence of Osteolysis in Uncemented Alumina Ceramic-on-Ceramic THA in Patients Younger Than 50 Years After Two to 14 Years
Young patients have been reported to have a higher risk of revision following total hip arthroplasty than older cohorts. This was attributed to the higher activity level which led to increased wear, o...

Alumina Ceramic Bearings in Total Hip Arthroplasty: The Rationale for Patient Selection
The use of alumina ceramic bearings in total hip replacement is not new; extensive clinical outcomes have been reported since at least the past 3 decades. During that time, material advances have chan...

A Review of Squeaking in Total Hip Arthroplasty
Squeaking in ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacements is a well-documented phenomenon. It is usually a benign complication, well tolerated by patients. Only rarely, it is a cause for revision surgery...
