In the case of a ceramic fracture or cup revision with exchange of the ceramic ball head on a used stem, there is always the danger of another ceramic fracture when using a standard ceramic ball head owing to a possibly damaged stem taper. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of revision hip arthroplasty using a new ceramic revision ball head. Ninety-one patients, who underwent revision hip arthroplasty using a ceramic revision ball head, were analyzed clinically. The Harris hip score and visual analog scale score increased significantly. There were no further ceramic fractures or noises. Especially, in cases with a damaged taper or ceramic fracture, surgeons should consider using a ceramic revision ball head in combination with a ceramic or a polyethylene insert.
