Abstract

A bioglass‐coated fully dense alumina total hip was evaluated in sheep without using polymer bone β€œcement.” After 3 months following surgery, both the acetabular cup and femoral stem component were firmly attached to bone. Histologic and radiographic analysis of the bone–implant interface showed regions of woven and even lamellar bone formation where high load transmission occurred. In regions of low loading or poor fit, a pseudosynovial fibrous lining was present.

Alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) bearings in total hip arthroplasty lead to low wear rates, but catastrophic failure of Al 2 O 3 femoral heads, while rare, remains a concern. In the present work, a composite of Al 2 O 3 and niobium (Nb) was tested in vitro for potential use as an alternative femoral head materia

## Abstract Wear of the polyethylene in total joint prostheses has been a source of morbidity and early device failure, which has been extensively reported in the last 20 years. Although research continues to attempt to reduce the wear of polyethylene joint‐bearing surfaces by modifications in poly
