Table 1. Types of Hip Prostheses.
| Material/Design | Biomechanical Advantages | Limitations | References |
| CoCrMo | High strength, superior wear and fatigue resistance | High elastic modulus, stress shielding | [1,2,5,18] |
| Titanium Alloys | Low modulus, high biocompatibility, osseointegration | Less wear resistance than CoCrMo | [6,7,15,16] |
| PEEK | Bone-like modulus, radiolucency, reduces stress shielding | Limited clinical long-term data | [9,10] |
| PCD Coatings | Optimal stress distribution, high hardness, low friction | High manufacturing cost | [10,32] |
| CoC Bearings | Low wear, inert, ideal for young/active patients | Potential for squeaking, higher cost | [11,12,19,20] |
| CoP Bearings | Lower wear than MoP, improved patient-reported outcomes | Still releases some particles | [19,24] |
| Dual Mobility | Enhanced ROM, prevents dislocations, good long-term survival | Increased acetabular volume required | [13,14,19,24] |
| Lattice Structures | Better load distribution, promotes osseointegration | Requires advanced manufacturing processes | [17,28,30] |
| Additive Manufacturing | High customization, precise anatomical matching | Cost, technical complexity | [20,30,31] |
| Patient-specific Implants | Improved fit, reduced impingement and revision risk | Requires imaging and custom planning | [21,30] |
