Ceramic hip implants aim for long life and active lifestyles
Waterbury Hospital participated in a study of a ceramic lining for hip joints, with FDA approval after testing on Taylor and 1,000+ patients. The ceramic hip promises up to 50 years of wear resistance but costs about $4,500 versus $1,500 for titanium with plastic. Proponents say smaller incisions aid recovery and future patients may prefer ceramic, though cost limits use for less active individuals.
