Many of the failures total joint replacements are related to tribology, i.e., wear cup, head and liner. Accumulation particles at implants can be linked osteolysis which leads bone loss in end aseptic implant loosening. Therefore it is highly desirable reduce generation from surfaces. Silicon nitride (Si3N4) has shown biocompatible have a low rate when sliding against itself therefore good candidate as hip material. Furthermore, Si3N4 predicted slowly dissolve polar liquids they potential...
