ReCerf®’s BIOLOX®delta ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacing shows strong 5-year results for women

Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing (MoMHR) has historically underserved women and patients who may require implants with smaller head sizes. A recent multi-center study demonstrates delta ceramic’s potential to render this exclusion a thing of the past, offering treatment options beyond what MoMHR offers.

Ceramic-on-polyethylene: a viable revision THA option after ceramic fracture?

Ceramic bearing breakage is an extremely rare yet challenging complication in total hip arthroplasty (THA). While ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) remains the most commonly used revision bearing, some surgeons choose ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoP) for its greater surgical flexibility – particularly in complex cases. Yet the approach raises concerns about accelerated polyethylene wear due to residual ceramic debris.

Detailed medical illustration presenting the biological impact of wear particles and metal ions in total disc replacement (TDR). The image is bifurcated into two sections: the left side visualizes various wear products and their associated biological responses; the right side highlights the implant design and biomaterial selection in mitigating wear.

What to do about the growing concern of wear particles in spinal implants?

A critical review in iScience by Dr. Joanne L. Tipper (University of Technology Sydney) and Moreica Pabbruwe (Centre for Implant Retrieval and Analysis, Perth) puts spinal implant wear particles in the spotlight.
