The Effect of Hip Arthroplasty on Gait Function: Comparison of Ceramic On Ceramic Hip Resurfacing, Metal On Metal Hip Resurfacing, and Total Hip Arthroplasty

Ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacing arthroplasty (CoC-HRA) has been developed to eliminate metal ion concerns which have been associated with metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoM-HRA) while maintaining similar functionality. The aim of the study was to examine gait function pre- and postoperatively between CoC-HRA, MoM-HRA, and THA using subjective and objective measures with comparison to a healthy control group.
