The effects of physiological conditions on the fatigue behaviour of zirconia bioceramic
Ceramic materials are creating much interest for use in orthopaedics as the modular component in hip replacement operations. The bioceramic, 3 mol % yttria-stablised zirconia (3Y-TZP), or biograde zirconia, is currently undergoing clinical trials. As materials used for hip replacements are exposed t...
