Abstract
From 2004 to 2014 there were conducted more than 400 operations with the use of ceramic- polyethylene prostheses in the Hospital №13 (clinical base of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia). In any case there were no signs of aseptic loosening of prosthesis components. Nowadays the use of low friction ceramic-polyethylene friction pair in hip arthroplasty is widespread for most patients with hip joint pathology in all age groups.
