A case-driven hypothesis for multi-stage crack growth mechanism in fourth-generation ceramic head fracture

BACKGROUND: Ceramic bearings are used in total hip arthroplasty due to their excellent wear behaviour and biocompatibility. The major concern related to their use is material brittleness, which significantly impacts on the risk of fracture of ceramic components. Fracture toughness improvement has co...
