Ceramic On Highly Cross Linked Polyethylene Hip

A randomised prospective evaluation of ceramic on ceramic and ceramic on highly cross linked polyethylene bearings in the same patients with primary cementless total hip arthroplasty.

Ceramic on highly cross linked polyethylene hip.

Turning now to the comparison of ceramic on ceramic versus highly cross linked polyethylene that has been melted the advantages of metal on polyethylene over ceramic on ceramic articulations for total hip replacement surgeries are multiple and important. Published on may 27 2014. Our aim was to calculate the 5 to 10 year wear rate and the incidence rate of osteolysis for 3 types of bearings. 1 clinical experience with highly crosslinked polyethylenes has also demonstrated a substantial reduction in the rate of wear.

Longevity highly cross linked polyethylene is highly resistant to wear and aging with over 13 years of clinical history. Synovo preserve hip resurfacing system video by dr. Currently long term survivorship of ceramic on polyethylene is between 90 and 97. Crosslinking has been shown to reduce the wear rate of polyethylene by up to 89 in laboratory studies.

4 5 longevity highly crosslinked polyethylene was developed to. Synovo preserve cementless ceramic coated titanium cross linked polyethylene hip resurfacing device. Advances in these materials could increase survivorship significantly to 20 25 or even 30 years. Biolox delta ceramic offers low wear rate in a material with improved mechanical properties compared to traditional ceramics.

Pritchett explains why the synovo preserve is an excellent hip resurfacing device and how it is different than metal on metal devices.
