High rate of fracture reported with third-generation CoC hip articulations
Compared with other findings regarding ceramic materials in joint articulations, results published in The Journal of Arthroplasty showed a higher rate of ceramic fracture with third-generation ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) articulations for total hip arthroplasty.
Researchers retrospectively reviewed 527 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty using a third-generation CoC articulation.
