Is it safe to use ceramic on polyethylene bearings in revision hip arthroplasty for ceramic fracture?
Revision to CoP bearings following ceramic fracture does not cause early catastrophic wear at early follow-up, aligning with the in vitro study observations. It appears safe to use this hard on soft bearing combination, given that wear rates are comparable to what is expected in a primary hip arthroplasty setting. Longer follow-up is required to establish if this trend persists.
