Ceramic acetabular cups have been used successfully for more than thirty years in total hip arthroplasty. Pioneering one piece designs are no longer used as a result of mechanical loosening complications related to their design. These early concepts were replaced in the late 80´s with modular ceramic inserts used in conjunction with proven non-cemented hemispherical shells and have addressed well these early design related problems. Throughout this evolution, the performance and reliability of the ceramic components has been excellent. As a result of this and in answer to the challenge create...
Ceramic acetabular cups have been used successfully for more than thirty years in total hip arthroplasty. Pioneering one piece designs are no longer used as a result of mechanical loosening complications related to their design. These early concepts were replaced in the late 80´s with modular ceramic inserts used in conjunction with proven non-cemented hemispherical shells and have addressed well these early design related problems.
Throughout this evolution, the performance and reliability of the ceramic components has been excellent. As a result of this and in answer to the challenge created by wear debris generated osteolysis, a renewed interest has surfaced in the ceramic on ceramic articulation. This renaissance has created a new alternative for the young and active patients in search of a more durable and longer term option Total Hip Replacement.
The objective of the 7th BIOLOX Symposium has been to assemble experts and have them present the current state-of-the-art in the alternative bearing area along with their clinical experience with current generation of ceramic inserts.
In addition a special chapter has been included which reviews the status and the options of ceramics for total knee replacement.
