| Abstract |
The probability of in vivo failure of ceramic hip joint implants is very low (0.004-0.05%). In addition to material flaws and overloading, improper handling during implantation can induce fractures of the ceramic ball head in the long term. Identifying the causes of an in vivo fracture contributes to improved understanding and potentially to further reduction of the fracture probability for patients. Asymmetric metal markings on the cone surface of in vivo ball head fractures have been reported. The question, therefore, is whether asymmetric loading is the sole cause or whether additional factors, specifically contamination entrapped in the taper fit, also contribute or are even the main cause. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 April 2014.
All research outputs
#20,656,161
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from BioMedical Engineering OnLine
#607
of 867 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#176,016
of 239,319 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BioMedical Engineering OnLine
#14
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 867 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 239,319 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
