THA: Ceramic-on-Ceramic Implant superior for younger patients .
Prospective randomized trial comparing alumina ceramic-on-ceramic with ceramic-on-conventional polyethylene bearings in total hip arthroplasty
J Arthroplasty. 2010 Apr;25(3):392-7. Epub 2009 Feb 5.55 patients (n=56 hips) with a non-inflammatory arthropathy of the hip were randomized to undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) with either an alumina ceramic-on-ceramic articulation or a ceramic-on-polyethylene articulation.
