## Abstract Hard‐on‐hard hip implants were thought as a solution to wear problems affecting polyethylene. Alumina ceramic and metal articulations are harder, biocompatible, and result in reduced wear and particles to the surrounding tissue. Alumina ceramic hip implants produce lower wear rates than

## Abstract Squeaking is a cause for concern in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the definition of this sound remains vague. Our goals were to characterize spectrally the squeaking in vitro under lubricated conditions and to compare the in vitro frequencies to in vivo frequencies. Four patien
## Abstract We investigated articular bearing surfaces retrieved from three patients with ceramic‐on‐ceramic total hip arthroplasties using high‐quality 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
## Abstract Metal‐on‐metal (MOM) bearings involving cobalt–chromium (Co–Cr) alloys in total hip arthroplasties are becoming more and more popular due to their low wear. Consequences of corrosion products of Co–Cr alloys are for the most part unclear, and the influence of cobalt and chromium ions on
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
