Burst Strength of BIOLOX<i><sup>®</sup></i>delta Femoral Heads and Its Dependence on Low-Temperature Environmental Degradation

Burst Strength of BIOLOX<i><sup>®</sup></i>delta Femoral Heads and Its Dependence on Low-Temperature Environmental Degradation

Zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) currently represents the bioceramic gold standard for load-bearing components in artificial hip joints. ZTA is long known for its high flexural strength and fracture toughness, both properties arising from a microscopic crack-tip shielding mechanism due to the stress...
