- Abstract
- In East Asia, osteonecrosis of the femoral head is one of the most common etiologies requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA). Patients are young and have a different lifestyle from that of Western countries. There have been concerns about ceramic fracture and noise. We reviewed five studies on cementless alumina-on-alumina THA that were performed in East Asian patients. Our review showed that results of third generation alumina-on-alumina THA was satisfactory in East Asia patients. © 2012 Elsevier Inc..
