Wear of yttria-zirconia (zirconia) in the femoral head was investigated in mature mongrel dogs weighing 10 to 13 kg. Two dogs, which were used as a control group, were sacrificed 18 months after implantation of the uncemented modular hip system with an alumina ceramic (alumina) femoral head. A zirco
A theoretical relationship was recently proposed relating the wear behavior of polymetric bearing materials articulating against hard counterfaces. 1 This model attempts to predict the influence of surface roughness on wear. Laboratory-based studies have been used to establish the validity of these
## Abstract This randomized study was performed to compare wear and migration of five different cemented total hip joint articulations in 150 patients. The patients received either a Charnley femoral stem with a 22.2โmm head or a Spectron EF femoral stem with a 28โmm head. The Charnley articulated
## Inter- The wear of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) when sliding against Zirconia ceramic and stainless steel counterfaGes has been compared in a pin-on-plate reciprocator and in a hip joint simulutor. A lower wearfactor was found for the UHMWPE when sliding on the Zirconia cer
