Friction and lubrication behaviour of hip resurfacing metal-on-metal and ZTA ceramic on CFR peek implants with various diameters and clearances. Friction and lubrication behaviour of hip resurfacing Co-Cr-Mo and zirconia toughened alumina ceramic heads against carbon fibre reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone cups with various diameters and clearances have been investigated using serum-based lubricants.
