Abstract
All Y-TZP femoral heads exhibited increased phase transformation with time in vivo, although not all Y-TZP heads exhibited catastrophic roughening. No phase transformation was observed on Mg-PSZ femoral heads after up to 19.2 years in vivo. The lack of degradation among Mg-PSZ retrievals suggests a lower wear potential in joint replacement.
