## Abstract The accumulated data suggest that there is a strong correlation between polyethylene wear and osteolysis, which ultimately leads to prosthetic loosening. Second‐generation metal‐on‐metal prostheses have been introduced, with an eye toward resolving this wear‐induced osteolysis problem.
## Abstract Increased patient blood and serum levels of Co and Cr and dissemination of metal wear particles throughout organs and tissues are the primary concerns with metal‐on‐metal surface replacements. Surface engineering, providing a ceramic bearing surface on a metal substrate, could provide a
