(Text)
For approximately 30 years ceramic components have been used successfully as bearing surfaces in total hip arthroplasty. Long-term clinical experience with the wear couples ceramic-on-polyethylene and ceramic-on-ceramic is now accepted state-of-the-art.
Nevertheless there is need to improve today's systems for joint arthroplasty. The BIOLOX Symposium aims at creating a challenging meeting of high scientific standards with special emphasis on intensifying the communication and interaction between engineers and surgeons who develop and improve ceramic implants to be used for joint replacement in orthopedics. The special properties and performance achieved with bioceramics have made this one of the most promising solutions to the challenging problems presented by young and active patients. This application present difficult issues to designers of reliable ceramic components and new challenges to surgeons. The objective is to compile clinical results from all over the world and thelatest of technical research in bioceramics.
To enhance osseointegration ceramic HA - coating on metal implants became an accepted procedure. There pros and contras are discussed. The key objectives of the 6th Symposium on Bioceramics in joint arthroplasty are to compile clinical results, to facilitate the sharing of clinical experience, and to demonstrate new options that ceramics offer in joint replacement.
