Fig. 1 — The box plot shows the rate of material loss from the metal and ceramic cohorts. The median and the maximum values seen for the CoCr cohort (median = 0.1 mm³, maximum = 9 mm³) are an order of magnitude greater compared with the ceramic cohort (median = 0.0 mm³, maximum = 0.4 mm³). Outliers with asterisks indicate a value taken from a Type 2 pattern of material loss.
