Abstract
Ceramic-on-ceramic (COC) has been an excellent alternative bearing surface for total hip arthroplasties (THA) in young, high-demand patients with end-stage arthritis of the hip [1, 2]. Ceramic material has been used for THA in Europe for 40 years with variable results [2–4]. Hamadouche et al. described minimal wear, a low rate of complications and limited osteolysis with COC THA after 18.5 years of follow-up [1]. On the other hand, the revision rate in Europe and the USA from 1988 till 1996 varied between 3% and 44% [5].
