Ceramic On Epoly

From 2007 to 2014 the use of ceramic on poly bearing surfaces increased from 11 1 of cases in 2007 to 50 8 of cases in 2014.

Ceramic on epoly.

In 2014 ceramic on poly utilization surpassed metal on poly which represented 42 1 of bearing surfaces that year it is interesting to see how behavior is influenced by just a few studies dr. A ceramic cup can not incorporate the lip that is a standard part of a plastic cup liner. Therefore a ceramic on poly replacement has the advantage of the lip and a ceramic on ceramic has the advantage of being tougher and permitting the use of a larger femoral head. These are cemented and uncemented sometimes.

Ceramic devices by contrast appear to cause far less inflammation and few if any pseudotumors. This appears true whether the device is all ceramic ceramic and metal or ceramic and plastic. Ceramic epoxy coating provides. While it may seem reasonable to suggest that these benefits translate to longer problem free use we can really only assume that at this stage.

It is likely that a ceramic on metal implant will be introduced soon. Ceramic epoxy coating is a unique abrasion resistant coating that protects by binding ceramic particles to a resin system thus creating an encapsulating ceramic shell. The final choice is whether to have the femoral side made as a single unit or opt for a modular version. Each ceramic particle is resin coated and becomes tightly packed in the cured film.
