The literature article entitled, "comparison of ceramic-on-ceramic bearing vs ceramic-on-highly cross-linked polyethylene-bearing surfaces in total hip arthroplasty for avascular necrosis of femoral head: a prospective cohort study with a mid-term follow-up" written by bin feng, yi ren, shilang cao, jin lin, jin lin, wenwei qian, and xisheng weng published by journal of orthopaedic surgery and research 2019 was reviewed.The article's purpose was to evaluate the clinical outcomes, health-related quality of life, and wear of the bearing surface between ceramic on ceramic (coc) and ceramic on highly cross linked polyethylene (coxpe) tha for patients of avn after midterm follow-up.Data was compiled from 99coc and 77 coxpe thas.Findings were both groups showed significant improvements in hhs scores with no difference between two bearing surfaces, no radiographic detection of osteolysis and loosening.All implants were depuy.Figure 1 provides close up radiographic images of the femoral head within acetabular cup.Depuy products: pinnacle cup, poly liner, ceramic liner, ceramic head, corail uncemented stem.Adverse events: dislocations in both groups (treated by closed reduction).Post op periprosthetic distal femoral fracture (treated by open reduction and internal fixation).Reports of noise (grinding noise, snap noise) in coc group (no treatments).Infection (treated by debridement).
