چکیده

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 to the bearing combination. Loosening, fracture, liner chipping on insertion, liner canting and dissociation, edge-loading and squeaking have all been reported, and the relationship between these issues and implant design and surgical technique is investigated. New design concepts are introduced and analysed with respect to previous clinical experience.

Fracture of ceramic components as a serious failure after total hip replacement with ceramic-on-ceramic bearings

Introduction Ceramics have been introduced in total hip arthroplasty for several advantages including minimal friction, low wear, biocompatibility, no ageing problems and no problems related to the systemic increases in serum metal concentrations. In the first generation of ceramic components introduced in the 1970’s the risk of fracture was substantial, reaching up to 13.4 %. After introducing...

Fatal Cobalt Toxicity after a Non-Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty

This case illustrates the potential for systemic cobalt toxicity in non-metal-on-metal bearings and its potentially devastating consequences. We present a 71-year-old male with grinding sensations in his right hip following ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty (THA). After diagnosing a fractured ceramic liner, the hip prosthesis was revised into a metal-on-polyethylene bearing. At one year...
