Letter to Editor Concerning Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Ceramic-on-ceramic Bearing Surfaces: Long-term Assessment of Squeaking Sounds by Kim et al. (Hip Pelvis. 2018;30(1):18–22 http://dx.doi.org/10.5371/hp.2018.30.1.18)

摘要

With our great interest in total hip arthroplasty and its various implant selections, we were delighted to read the recent article by Kim et al., describing long-term evaluation of ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surfaces and its squeaking sound. The authors provided meaningful results regarding factors that may have contributed to occurrence of squeaking sound and a relatively longer duration of follow-up period compared to previous studies.Nonetheless, after review of the manuscript, we would like to comment on the article for several reasons.
