Research on Ceramic Spindle Loss Based on Ceramic Reverse Magnetic Effect

Large-diameter Delta ceramic-on-ceramic versus common-sized ceramic-on-polyethylene bearings in THA.

The higher failure rate of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in young, active patients remains a challenge for surgeons. Recently, larger-diameter femoral heads combined with an alumina matrix composite ceramic (BIOLOX Delta; CeramTec AG, Plochingen, Germany) articulation was developed to improve implant longevity and meet patients' activity demands while reducing the risk of component-related compl...

Erratum for Ceramic-on-Ceramic Versus Ceramic-on-Polyethylene Bearing Surfaces in Total Hip Arthroplasty.

The choice between ceramic-on-ceramic (COC) and ceramic-on-polyethylene (COP) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and durability of COC vs COP bearing surfaces in THA. Based on published randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) identified in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, th...

Retrieval analysis of alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearing couples

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been in use in total hip replacement (THR) for more than 40 years, with excellent long-term survivorship. Although there have been several simulator studies describing the performance of these joints, there have only been a few retrieval analyses. The aim of this study was to investigate the wear patterns, the surface properties, and...

On the Loss of Hydraulic Permeability in Ceramic Membranes

to either aluminum ions or surface hydroxyls and can result in the formation of a surface alkoxide. The properties of inorganic membranes are dependent on the The purpose of this note is to illustrate the effects of heat treatment and surface chemistry of the material, which in turn are affected by chemisorption of organic molecules on the permeability characteristics of parameters such as temp...
