ceramic-on-ceramic

Ceramic-on-ceramic refers to a type of hip replacement where both the ball and socket parts are made from high-quality ceramic materials. This combination offers excellent durability and a smooth surface, reducing friction and wear. It is often chosen for its biocompatibility, low risk of metal allergies, and its ability to closely mimic natural joint movement. While it provides long-lasting results and minimizes the chance of metal ion release, it can sometimes produce a squeaking sound. Overall, ceramic-on-ceramic hip replacements are a reliable option for suitable candidates aiming for durability and natural joint function.
