Abstrakt: Ceramic materials are widely used in hip prosthetic surgery. Faced with important developments in the design and characteristics of the materials, ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) are today the bearings in Total Hip Replacement (THR) showing the minimal wear rate. Moreover, ceramic wear debris demonstrated the absence of local and systemic toxicity. This makes ceramic bearing particularly suitable for active patients, whatever their age. The results show excellent survival rates of THRs with ceramic components and excellent clinical and radiographic scores with follow-up close to 20 years. However, the excellent outcomes of THRs with ceramic bearings are depending on appropriate and correctly performed surgical technique.
