Undetected Fracture of an Alumina Ceramic on Ceramic Hip Prosthesis
Journal of Arthroplasty, 07/07/09
Sariali E et al. - An unusual case of undetected ceramic fracture was discovered by coincidence during total hip arthroplasty revision for sepsis. The analysis of the retrievals suggests that the fracture occurred during walking at the contact point between the head and the cup. The ceramic breakage was asymptomatic with no mechanical disorder, suggesting that some ceramic fracture may be tolerated in vivo.
