BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Ceramic bearings are widely used in total hip arthroplasty (THR) along with metal and polyethylene bearings. There were several studies in past few years evaluating the advantage of one over the other. The young population with high activity levels has an increased risk of wear debris production at bearing surface and subsequent implant failure. Recently, interest and use of a ceramics with high wear resistance has been growing. Early reports on ceramic on ceramic THR have demonstrated excellent clinical and radiological results.

PURPOSE

To evaluate clinical, functional and radiological outcomes of cement-less ceramic on ceramic primary total Hip Replacement (THR) in young patients (<50 years age) with diagnosis of avascular necrosis femoral head.
