N1 - Despite 46 years clinical experience with ceramic-on-ceramic (COC) hip bearings, there is no data on what constitutes a successful long-term wear performance. There have been many studies of short-term failures (Dorlot, 1992; Nevelos, 2001, Walters, 2004). One retrieval study using optical-CMM technology (OCM) documented volumetric wear-rates ranging up to 7mm 3/year on femoral heads (Esposito 2012).
