Is a hip replacement cup made of ceramic?

Hip replacements are made of different parts. The stem (portion that goes into the thigh bone) The head and cup (the bearing surface) The socket (portion that holds the cup into the pelvis). The stem is always metal. Usually a cobalt chrome alloy. This may either be coated with titanium or a cermaic such as hydroxyapatite (rough surface) which allows bone to grow onto the stem and hold it fixed in place. Or the stem can be highly polished and cemented in place with polymethylmethacrylate cement. The socket can either be all polyethylene (usually UHMWPE) and cemented into the pelvis directly (i.e. the cup and socket are one), or the socket can be metal and bond to the pelvis in the same way as the rough stems, with or without the use of screws. The bearing surface (ball and cup) can vary - The ball can either be metal or ceramic (alumina), and the socket can either be metal, ceramic or polyethylene (UHMWPE). The polyethylene cups can either be an all in one cup/socket, or a polyethylene liner to a metal socket. The bearing combinations typically used are: Metal on polyethylene Metal on Metal Ceramic on Ceramic Ceramic on polyethylene All have their pros and cons.

How do you use socket wrench?

Depends on what you are needing it for. First you should determine what size socket wrench [ratchet] to use. If using a small socket in a small place, try either a 1/4" or 3/8" drive ratchet.Second will see a square piece on the head of the ratchet. You take the socket, and match the two squares together.(Note: On some ratchets, you may simply be able to push the socket on, while others, there may be a small circle on the opposite side of the socket wrench. You have to push this in, while pushing the socket onto the square, and, when the socket is in place, release the circle. This attaches the socket to the socket wrench safely, so that it does not come loose while in use).Now, if you are tightening the bolt/nut, you push the lever on the back of the head of the socket wrench to the LEFT. If you are loosening, you push the lever to the RIGHT. (Remember it like ON/OFF. On [Left], Off [Right]).After setting the socket wrench, you place the socket on the nut/bolt, you turn the socket wrench to the left if tightening, and right if loosening. (When you turn it, you should hear a clicking noise. Then when you begin to tighten/loosen it, it will stop clicking).Hope this helps!
