## Abstract Recently, alternations of zirconia ceramic femoral heads of total hip prostheses during __in vivo__ conditions have caused concern in the medical disciplines regarding phase transformation of zirconia prosthetic components. In this paper, we have investigated the mechanical and structur
## Abstract Yttria‐stabilized zirconia ceramic (Y‐TZP) has been used in total hip arthroplasty for many years but is susceptible to low‐temperature aging. Medical‐grade magnesia‐stabilized zirconia (Mg‐PSZ) is less commonly used; however, it has been shown to resist phase transformation. The purpos
