My nephew is an excellent biomedical / mechanical engineer with a major medical devices firm. He specializes in developing the tools used by surgeons to install artificial joints. I sent him this article and asked his opinion. Thanks for posting it.

I developed a solution to these 40 years ago.

I am shocked no one else has realized how simple it would be.

Had not thought about this in a long time

Thanks

That’s what I got about 10 years ago - I gave up running and started walking and using exercycles in order to reduce impact and give it a better chance to “outlive” me...

The Abstract shows the zirconium approach was fairly better than the ceramic approach.

“Total Hip Replacements with a delta ceramic (0.79 [0.73, 0.85]) or oxidised zirconium (0.65 [0.55, 0.77]) head and HCLPE liner had a lower risk of revision throughout the entire postoperative period.”
