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
## 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
