Advances in these materials could increase survivorship significantly to 20 25 or even 30 years.
Ceramic on highly cross linked polyethylene hip.
Synovo preserve cementless ceramic coated titanium cross linked polyethylene hip resurfacing device.
The latest generations of ceramic on highly cross linked polyethylene has the potential to become the new gold standard in tha.
Turning now to the comparison of ceramic on ceramic versus highly cross linked polyethylene that has been melted the advantages of metal on polyethylene over ceramic on ceramic articulations for total hip replacement surgeries are multiple and important.
Our aim was to calculate the 5 to 10 year wear rate and the incidence rate of osteolysis for 3 types of bearings.
Synovo preserve hip resurfacing system video by dr.
1 clinical experience with highly crosslinked polyethylenes has also demonstrated a substantial reduction in the rate of wear.
Crosslinking has been shown to reduce the wear rate of polyethylene by up to 89 in laboratory studies.
Currently long term survivorship of ceramic on polyethylene is between 90 and 97.
Longevity highly cross linked polyethylene is highly resistant to wear and aging with over 13 years of clinical history.
Pritchett explains why the synovo preserve is an excellent hip resurfacing device and how it is different than metal on metal devices.
Biolox delta ceramic offers low wear rate in a material with improved mechanical properties compared to traditional ceramics.
