In their study, Migaud and colleagues address an important topic—the reasons why ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings in primary THA fail. Previously published studies have examined why metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) and metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings fail, but there is little evidence to suggest why CoC bearings fail and require revision. The authors focus on the time and reason for CoC revision, but not on the failure rate of bearings as the number of primary procedures is not known. …
