Pre-clinical evaluation of ceramic femoral head resurfacing prostheses using computational models and mechanical testing

Ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacing can potentially offer the bone-conserving advantages of resurfacing while eliminating metal ion release. Thin-walled ceramic resurfacing heads are conceivable following developments in the strength and reliability of ceramic materials, but verification of new desig...
