✦ Synopsis

The biomechanics of the hip joint provide an understanding of the development, evolution, and treatment of many disabling conditions of this joint. The available methods of biomechanical analysis include in vitro studies, in vivo studies, and theoretical mathematic analyses. The information obtained from these analyses have enabled the design of therapeutic programs to alleviate the symptoms of, and possibly delay the progression of, hip disease. The design of surgical procedures has been based on alterations of the biomechanics of the hip. These procedures have proven useful for treating pathologies such as osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, and hip fractures. The study of biomechanics and biomaterials are integral to the current success of total hip arthroplasty in achieving pain relief and functional

## Abstract Modern ceramic bearings used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) consist of a femoral head (ball) articulating inside a hemispherical acetabular cup (socket); the ball and socket are made of alumina (Al~2~O~3~) and Al~2~O~3~‐based composite materials. In the present study, total hip bearing
