Ceramic On Epoly

These are cemented and uncemented sometimes.

Ceramic on epoly.

Ceramic devices by contrast appear to cause far less inflammation and few if any pseudotumors. This appears true whether the device is all ceramic ceramic and metal or ceramic and plastic. A ceramic cup can not incorporate the lip that is a standard part of a plastic cup liner. Ceramic epoxy coating provides.

In 2014 ceramic on poly utilization surpassed metal on poly which represented 42 1 of bearing surfaces that year it is interesting to see how behavior is influenced by just a few studies dr. It is likely that a ceramic on metal implant will be introduced soon. A randomized trial of ceramic on ceramic bearing versus ceramic on crossfire polyethylene bearing in total hip arthroplasty. This lip serves to lower the risk of dislocation.

From 2007 to 2014 the use of ceramic on poly bearing surfaces increased from 11 1 of cases in 2007 to 50 8 of cases in 2014. Ceramic epoxy coating is a unique abrasion resistant coating that protects by binding ceramic particles to a resin system thus creating an encapsulating ceramic shell. Therefore a ceramic on poly replacement has the advantage of the lip and a ceramic on ceramic has the advantage of being tougher and permitting the use of a larger femoral head. While it may seem reasonable to suggest that these benefits translate to longer problem free use we can really only assume that at this stage.
