ESKA-Ceram ® – ein neuer Werkstoff in der Endoprothetik des Hüftgelenkes - ESKA-Ceram® – A New Material for Use in Hip Endoprostheses

Abstract: ESKA-Ceram is a new material for use in hip endoprostheses, and comprises two-thirds polyurethane and one-third Al2O3 ceramic powder. Its wear rates are of a similar low order of magnitude as those reported for metal-metal and ceramic-ceramic combinations. A great advantage of the material is that it permits the production of asymmetrical inserts for acetabular cups.

“…The cementless anchorage via the Spongiosa Metal ® was also applied in the case of the femoral component. Further, in 2007, based on the composite material ENDOCERAM ® , consisting of a polyurethane matrix and a mixed-in glass ceramic powder [100,112], the ceramic-on-ceramic ESKA-CERAM ® hip resurfacing system was launched. The ESKA resurfacing implants were the only designs with a cementless acetabular shell in combination with a modular ceramic insert.…”
