note = "Zirconia (ZrO2) on Polyethylene (PE) has been used for18 years. However, a majority of clinical results expressed caution, citing surprisingly high wear and osteolysis. The most recent clinical study (Walters 2004) reports 20\% higher wear with ZrO2/PE compared to CoCr/PE The PE wear may be the result of increased surface roughness of the ball, due to zirconia transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic phase.",
