Partially stabilized zirconia ceramic is being recognized among ceramics for its high strength and toughness. With this ceramic, is possible to manufacture a 22mm-size femoral head for low friction arthroplasty of the hip joint in association with an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene socket.
## Abstract The use of ceramic‐on‐ceramic (alumina‐ and zirconia‐based) couplings in hip joint prostheses has been reported to produce lower wear rates than other combinations (i.e., metal‐on‐polyethylene and ceramic‐on‐polyethylene). The addition of zirconia into an alumina matrix (zirconia‐toughe
## 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
