Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been successfully used to reduce bleeding in joint replacement. Recently local TXA has been advocated to reduce blood loss in total knee or hip replacement; however, this raised concerns about potential adverse ef...

A novel material combination of a large diameter Biolox® Delta zirconia-toughened-alumina (ZTA) head and a pitch-based carbon fibre reinforced poly ether–ether-ketone (CFR-PEEK) MOTIS® cup has been studied. The acetabular cups were inclined at three... Read More about Biotribological study of large diameter ceramic-on-CFR-PEEK hip joint including fluid uptake, wear and frictional heating.

The purpose of this study was to compare the wear of zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) and alumina femoral heads tested against as-cast CoCrMo alloy acetabular cups under both standard and severe wear conditions. A new severe test, which included medi... Read More about Wear and surface analysis of 38 mm ceramic-on-metal total hip replacements under standard and severe wear testing conditions.

There is currently much discussion over the use of ceramic femoral components against metal acetabular cups, for use in total hip arthroplasty. The current study investigates six hot isostatically pressed alumina femoral heads of 38 mm diameter artic...
