In general - the implant is not as important, I feel, as the approach, and accuracy of implantation. I utilise a ceramic on ceramic articulation which I feel has the best wear characteristics and potential for longevity out of all the articulations.
I have concerns with meral being implanted into the body. I understand it is not metal-on-metal, generally, but does the body react to the toxic nature of this unnatural substance in the body? And if so, what can then be done about it?
In general, there are no allergies noted or effects from modern prostheses. To date, we have not come across a single case of metal/substance allergy from prosthetic joints.
@@orthopaedics360 Thank you Doctor for your reply and giving your advice, what about the Summit stem from DePuy? Is it a good one for a patient like me? Or you would prefer different ones like Corail maybe?
Told me a lot more than my surgeon did. Thanks so much.😀
I think I would be willing to fly to Australia to have you perform the hip replacement.
Thats really nice of you. We usually recommend that you find someone good in your nearby area.

Thank you for your response!
Doctor which implant would you prefer for a female patient 33 years old? Ceramic on ceramic or ceramic on poly?
Personally, ceramic on ceramic has been my implant of choice as it eliminates any polyethylene debris
