Abstract: Abstract Rationale: Dislocation, wear, metallosis, and implant loosening are well-known complications of a failed total-hip arthroplasty (THA), and acetabular liner dissociation is an uncommon but catastrophic complication. To our knowledge, this is the first description… read more here.

Abstract: Hip resurfacing arthroplasty may have distinct advantages for young and active patients, but large metal-on-metal bearings can be associated with increased wear, adverse tissue reactions and higher rate of implant loosening. Ceramic wear couples are… read more here.
