Ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty: minimum of six-year follow-up study.

CONCLUSIONS: The ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty produced excellent clinical results and implant survival rates with no detectable osteolysis on a minimum six-year follow-up study. The ceramic-on-ceramic couplings could be a reasonable option of primary total hip arthroplasty for variable indications. PMID: 24009902 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
