Ceramics and Composites

Ceramic composites are those ceramic materials that consist of 2 or more fundamentally different components that are ready to act synergistically to provide properties superior to those provided by either component alone. Ceramic composite hip implants have gained huge attention because of their special properties like low wear, higher fracture toughness and perfect chemical stability over monolithic ceramic hip implants. The objective of this chapter is to present an up-to-date scenario of the ceramic hip prostheses utilized in hip arthroplasty.
