Abstract

Catastrophic failure of a zirconia head with Hylamer acetabular component and early failure due to the phase transformation of zirconia ceramic head after total hip arthroplasty have been indebted issues. We report two cases who had failure of the zirconia ceramic head with polyethylene articulations shortly after total hip arthroplasty. Revision retrieval studies were performed subsequently.
