Is wear debris responsible for failure in alumina-on-alumina implants?: Clinical, histological, and laboratory investigations of 30 revision cases with a median follow-up time of 8 years
Background and purpose Ceramic-on-ceramic articulation is an attractive alternative to metal-on-polyethylene (PE) bearings, but little is known about the in vivo effects induced by dissemination of alumina wear debris in the periprosthetic tissues. We hypothesized that wear debris is not the main fa...
