Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Clinical reports for zirconia–polyethylene total-hip replacements have been contradictory, and only a handful of retrieval studies have been performed. We review zirconia’s mechanical properties, relevant clinical and retrieval studies, and discuss the “metastable” nature of the articular and taper-bore surfaces. Current limitations of wear-simulator studies are detailed. While some known parameters of phase transformation have been described, we lack understanding of how the different zirconia brand names, era of manufacture, ball diameters, clinical parameters, and exposure times in vivo will contribute to more or less phase transformation. As noted in recent clinical studies, patients with zirconia/polyethylene hip joint replacements may have to be monitored closely for adverse changes that have potential to occur 10 to 15 years post-operatively.
