Ceramic Acetabular Liner
The artificial hip replacement device consists of four basic components.
Ceramic acetabular liner. A case of an acetabular liner fracture of the ceramic sandwich cup was presented. Never use a metal femoral head with a ceramic liner. Polyethylene liner ie poly is the most common material type for the acetabular liner however ceramic or metal are also available. Ceramic liners are designed to sit within the acetabular cup and are fixed into the cup with an 18 taper lock.
Pinnacle hip solutions is a modular cup system designed with a wide range of acetabular cup options biological and mechanical fixation alternatives and advanced bearing technologies that allows surgeons the flexibility to choose intraoperatively from among the most advanced technologies available depending on their patients individual needs. The trident ceramic acetabular system is an artificial hip replacement device that features a new state of the art ceramic on ceramic bearing couple. The multi bearing cup in addition to providing flexibility for you the surgeon provides a foundation designed to reduce wear. The fracture occurred 1 4 years after the operation without trauma.
The r3 acetabular cup is engineered for multiple bearing options and provides a porous coating designed to enhance fixation and bony in growth. A metal shell for bony ingrowth a liner to articulate with femoral head we discuss the liner. Ceramic liners should only be used with ceramic femoral heads. The current acetabular implant is a cementless 2 component cup.
