This systematic review of the literature summarises the clinical experience with ceramic-on-
ceramic hip bearings over the past 40 years and discusses the concerns that exist in relation …

Alumina-on-alumina bearings in total hip arthroplasty have been developed in an attempt to
minimise debris and the occurrence of osteolytic lesions. The outstanding tribological …

Background Ceramic bearings were introduced to reduce wear and increase long-term
survivorship of total hip arthroplasty. In a previous study comparing ceramic with metal-on …

Squeaking arising from a ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip replacement (THR) may cause
patient concern and in some cases causes patients to seek revision surgery. We performed …

Noise generation has been reported with ceramic-on-ceramic articulations in total hip
replacement (THR). This study evaluated 208 consecutive Delta Motion THRs at a mean …

A 70-year-old man with an uncemented metal-on-polyethylene total hip prosthesis
underwent revision arthroplasty 33 months later because of pain, swelling and recurrent …

Background Poor survival of THA implants in very young patients has been attributed to use
of cemented implants, wear of conventional polyethylene, and the presence of morphologic …

Background Improvements in prosthetic materials, designs, and implant fixation for THA
have led to bearing surface wear being the limitation of this technology. Hard-on-hard …

Background. Ceramic on ceramic (COC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) was developed to
reduce wear debris and accordingly, the occurrence of osteolysis and aseptic loosening …

This study reports mid-term results of Delta ceramic on ceramic (COC) in total hip
arthroplasty (THA). Subjects received Delta COC THA in a prospective multi-center study …
