What is CoCr?
CoCr, also known as Cobalt-Chromium, is a metal alloy that is widely used in orthopedic implants due to its excellent wear resistance, strength, and biocompatibility. Composed mainly of cobalt and chromium, it often contains other elements such as molybdenum and nickel to enhance its mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties.
In the context of hip implants, the acetabulum is the socket part of the hip joint, and it pairs with the femoral head to provide articulation. A CoCr acetabular shell serves as the replacement for the natural socket in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The use of CoCr for this component ensures minimal wear even after years of movement, while its biocompatible nature reduces the risk of adverse reactions in the body. Depending on the specific design and patient needs, a CoCr acetabular shell can be paired with different bearing surfaces like ceramic or polyethylene, thus providing surgeons with various options to cater to individual patient requirements.
