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

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
## 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 22.2βmm head or a Spectron EF femoral stem with a 28βmm head. The Charnley articulated
## Abstract We investigated articular bearing surfaces retrieved from three patients with ceramicβonβceramic total hip arthroplasties using highβquality alumina. The duration of implantation was 3.5, 3.0, and 2.5 years, respectively. Dislocation of the hip joint after implantation did not occur in
