Friction and lubrication behaviour of hip resurfacing metal-on-metal and ZTA ceramic on CFR peek implants with various diameters and clearances. Friction and lubrication behaviour of hip resurfacing Co-Cr-Mo and zirconia toughened alumina ceramic heads against carbon fibre reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone cups with various diameters and clearances have been investigated using serum-based lubricants.

Total hip joint prostheses made of CoCrMo heads versus ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) cups have a limited lifetime, mainly due to the wear of the UHMWPE cups as a result of high friction between the articulating surfaces leading to osteolysis and implant loosening with revision...
