Abstract
Developing biomaterials for hip prostheses is challenging and requires dedicated attention from researchers. Hip replacement is an inevitable and remarkable orthopedic therapy for enhancing the quality of patient life for those who have arthritis as well as trauma. Generally, five types of hip replacement procedures are successfully performed in the current medical market: total hip replacements, hip resurfacing, hemiarthroplasty, bipolar, and dual mobility systems. The average life span of artificial hip joints is about 15 years, and several studies have been conducted over the last 60 years to improve the performance and thereby increase the lifespan of artificial hip joints. Present-day prosthetic hip joints are linked to the wide availability of biomaterials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers are some of the most promising types of biomaterials; nevertheless, each biomaterial has advantages and disadvantages. Metals and ceramics fail in most applications owing to stress shielding and the emission of wear debris; ongoing research is being carried out to find a remedy to these unfavorable responses. Recent research found that polymers and composites based on polymers are significant alternative materials for artificial joints. With growing research and several biomaterials, recent reviews lag in effectively addressing hip implant materials' individual mechanical, tribological, and physiological behaviors. This Review comprehensively investigates the historical evolution of artificial hip replacement procedures and related biomaterials' mechanical, tribological, and biological characteristics. In addition, the most recent advances are also discussed to stimulate and guide future researchers as they seek more effective methods and synthesis of innovative biomaterials for hip arthroplasty application.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Forte ceramic head on delta ceramic liner articulation showed satisfactory midterm results without ceramic-related complication. We aimed to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) with forte ceramic head on delta ceramic liner articulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Overall, 107 patients (57 men, 50 women; 138 hips) who underwent cementless THA with forte ceramic head on delta ceramic liner articulation were enrolled. The mean follow-up duration was 11.6 years. For the clinical assessments, Harris hip score (HHS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), presence of thigh pain, and presence of squeaking were evaluated. Radiographs were assessed to search for osteolysis, stem subsidence, loosening of implants. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were evaluated. RESULTS The mean HHS and WOMAC improved from 57.1 and 28.1 preoperatively to 81.4 and 13.1 at the final follow-up, respectively. Nine revisions (6.5%) were performed; 5 hips for stem loosening, 1 hip for ceramic liner fracture, 2 hips for periprosthetic fracture, and 1 hip for progressive osteolysis around cup and stem. Thirty-two patients (37 hips) complained squeaking, in which 4 cases (2.9%) were identified as ceramic-related noises. After a mean follow-up period of 11.6 years, 91% (95% CI 87.8-94.2) were free from revision of both femoral and acetabular components due to any reason. CONCLUSIONS Cementless THA with forte ceramic-on-delta ceramic articulation showed acceptable clinical and radiological results. Serial surveillance of these patients should be performed due to the possibility of cerami- related complications such as squeaking, osteolysis, and ceramic liner fracture.

Abstract
Designing excellent hip implant composite material with optimal physical, mechanical and wear properties is challenging. Improper hip implant composite design may result in a premature component and product failure. Therefore, a hybrid decision-making tool was proposed to select the optimal hip implant composite according to several criteria that are probably conflicting. In varying weight proportions, a series of hip implant composite materials containing different ceramics (magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide, chromium oxide, silicon nitride and aluminium oxide) were fabricated and evaluated for wear and physicomechanical properties. The density, void content, hardness, indentation depth, elastic modulus, compressive strength, wear, and fracture toughness values were used to rank the hip implant composites. It was found that the density and void content of the biocomposites remain in the range of 3.920–4.307 g/cm3 and 0.0021–0.0089%, respectively. The composite without zirconium oxide exhibits the lowest density (3.920 g/cm3), while the void content remains lowest for the composite having no chromium oxide content. The highest values of hardness (28.81 GPa), elastic modulus (291 GPa) and fracture toughness (11.97 MPa.m1/2) with the lowest wear (0.0071 mm3/million cycles) were exhibited by the composites having 83 wt.% of aluminium oxide and 10 wt.% of zirconium oxide. The experimental results are compositional dependent and without any visible trend. As a result, selecting the best composites among a group of composite alternatives becomes challenging. Therefore, a hybrid AHP-MOORA based multi-criteria decision-making approach was adopted to choose the best composite alternative. The AHP (analytic hierarchy process) was used to calculate the criteria weight, and MOORA (multiple objective optimisation on the basis of ratio analysis) was used to rank the composites. The outcomes revealed that the hip implant composite with 83 wt.% aluminium oxide, 10 wt.% zirconium oxide, 5 wt.% silicon nitride, 3 wt.% magnesium oxide, and 1.5 wt.% chromium oxide had the best qualities. Finally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the ranking’s robustness and stability concerning the criterion weight.

Abstract
Medical ceramics are frequently used biomaterials as a liner in total hip arthroplasty. Strong efforts have been made to improve material properties over the last decades. Alumina toughened zirconia ceramics seem to be promising alternatives to further reduce fracture rates and squeaking phenomena. To answer the question if alumina toughened zirconia ceramic liners in combination with a cementless, hemispheric cup are able to reduce squeaking phenomena and fracture rates, we initiated a bicentric, mid-term trial. Noise phenomena will be recorded using MONA Score (Melbourne Orthopaedic Noise Assessment). Functional outcome (Harris Hip Score, University of California-Los Angeles, Forgotten Joint Score, EQ-5D Score, Visual Analogue Scale) and radiographic parameters will serve as secondary parameters. The study has been set up for 5 years, with follow-ups after 6-14 weeks, 12, 24 and 60 months.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ceramic-on-ceramic couplings demonstrated to be reliable bearings in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), with long-term remarkable results. Like-on-like configurations were widely described. On the contrary, mixed material combinations from the same manufacturer, Delta-on-Forte or Forte-on-Delta, were poorly studied. In particular, it is unknown whether mixed ceramic combinations are more at risk of ceramic fractures. Thus, a registry study was conducted to investigate the long-term survival rates and reasons for revision of mixed ceramic combinations. A comparison with Delta-on-Delta couplings was also performed. MATERIALS AND METHODS The regional arthroplasty registry RIPO was enquired about three cohorts of ceramic bearings (head-on-liner: Delta-on-Forte, Forte-on-Delta, Delta-on-Delta). Demographics, survival rates and reasons for revision were evaluated and compared. RESULTS In total, 346 (1.5%) implants had a Delta-on-Forte coupling (mean follow-up: 6.4 years). In total, 1163 (5%) THAs had a Forte-on-Delta articulation (mean follow-up: 8.2 years). Delta-on-Delta surfaces were implanted in 21,874 (93.5%) hips (mean follow-up: 3.9 years). Mixed material combinations were implanted between 2003 and 2007. The survival rates of the three cohorts were similar and were higher than 95% at 10 years. In Forte-on-Delta group, four liners failed (0.3% of the implants), whereas ceramic fractures occurred in 15 cases (0.1%) in Delta-on-Delta couplings (3 heads and 12 liners). Considering ceramic fracture as endpoint, there was no significant difference between the three survival rates. CONCLUSIONS Mixed ceramic bearing configurations from the same manufacturer in primary THA showed mid-to-longterm dependable outcomes, not inferior to the most recent like-on-like ceramic bearings. No additional risks of ceramic fractures were evident. Thus, closer follow-ups are not required.

Abstract
Ceramic-on-ceramic bearings in total hip replacement have shown the potential to provide low wear solutions in hip replacement. Assessing the tribological performance of these materials is important to predict their long-term performance in patients. In this study, a methodology was devised to assess the tribological in vitro behaviour of composite ceramics under combined adverse edge loading conditions and accelerated ageing. Two commercial ceramic composites were considered, namely Alumina-Toughened Zirconia (ATZ, ceramys®) and Zirconia-Toughened Alumina (ZTA, symarec®). The bearing couples were studied using the Leeds Mark II hip joint simulator for a total of eight million cycles, the first two million under normal gait (no edge loading) and the following six million cycles with the addition of edge loading conditions driven by medial-lateral separation. The bearing couples underwent hydrothermal ageing using an accelerated protocol in autoclave every million cycles. The influence of edge loading combined with ageing was significant for ATZ bearings, resulting in a slower overall ageing kinetics over the wear stripe than on the control heads. During the autoclave ageing steps, the monoclinic fraction increased more over the wear stripe area than over the unworn area. Both results thus indicated that the monoclinic phase was removed during shocks induced by edge loading. The wear performance of the two materials were similar exhibiting relatively low wear rates and low level of microstructural damage for these clinically relevant adverse conditions.

Abstract
Replacement surgery of hip joint consists of the substitution of the joint with an implant able to recreate the articulation functionality. This article aims to review the current state of the art of the biomaterials used for hip implants. Hip implants can be realized with different combination of materials, such as metals, ceramics and polymers. In this review, we analyze, from international literature, the specific characteristics required for biomaterials used in hip joint arthroplasty, i.e., being biocompatible, resisting heavy stress, opposing low frictional forces to sliding and having a low wear rate. A commentary on the evolution and actual existing hip prostheses is proposed. We analyzed the scientific literature, collecting information on the material behavior and the human-body response to it. Particular attention has been given to the tribological behavior of the biomaterials, as friction and wear have been key aspects to improve as hip implants evolve. After more than 50 years of evolution, in term of designs and materials, the actual wear rate of the most common implants is low, allowing us to sensibly reduce the risk related to the widespread debris distribution in the human body.

Abstract
Ceramic composites have performed very well under adverse edge loading conditions when used in like-on-like configurations, where the femoral head and acetabular cup are of the same material. The aim of this study was to determine the wear of pure alumina (Al2 O3 ), alumina toughened zirconia (ATZ) and zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) when used in mixed bearing combinations, under edge loading conditions due to translational mal-positioning. The head-on-cup configurations of three ceramic materials were ATZ-on-ZTA, ZTA-on-ATZ, Al2 O3 -on-ATZ, ATZ-on-Al2 O3 , Al2 O3 -on-ZTA, and ZTA-on-Al2 O3 . They were tested on the Leeds II hip simulator under microseparation conditions. The bedding in and steady state wear rates of ATZ-on-ZTA were 1.16mm3 /million cycles and 0.18mm3 /million, respectively, and for ATZ-on-Al2 O3 were 0.66 mm3 /million cycles and 0.20 mm3 /million, respectively. The wear rates of the other bearing combinations under these adverse microseparation conditions, Al2 O3 -on-ATZ, Al2 O3 -on-ZTA, ZTA-on-ATZ and ZTA-on-Al2 O3 were very low with no clear bedding in and steady state phases, and with steady state wear rates lower than 0.11 mm3 /million. The mixed material combinations tested in this study have shown slightly higher wear rates when compared to ATZ in like-on-like configuration reported previously, but superior wear resistance when compared to alumina-on-alumina bearings tested previously under the same adverse microseparation conditions. © 2016 The Authors Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
