Abstract
The biocompatibility of high-purity dense Al2O3-ceramics had been shown to open the possibility of direct cement-free anchorage of joint endoprostheses. Three years of clinical experience with ceramic-metal composite total hip prostheses confirm the biomechanical design criteria used for the acetabular components. They also allow for additional conclusions regarding the reaction of bone tissue towards a bioinert implant. Further research activities are directed towards a solution for the biomechanically stable anchorage of the femoral component of hip prostheses.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
