## Abstract Alternative bearing surfaces for total hip arthroplasty, such as metalโonโmetal and ceramicโonโceramic, offer the potential to reduce mechanical wear and osteolysis. In the short and medium term, the second generation of metalโonโmetal bearings demonstrated high systemic metal ion level
## Abstract Hardโonโhard hip implants were thought as a solution to wear problems affecting polyethylene. Alumina ceramic and metal articulations are harder, biocompatible, and result in reduced wear and particles to the surrounding tissue. Alumina ceramic hip implants produce lower wear rates than
