Is a hip replacement cup made of ceramic?

Yes, a hip replacement cup can be made of ceramic. Ceramic is a type of material that is made from inorganic, non-metallic materials, such as clay or other minerals, that are fired at high temperatures. Ceramic hip replacement cups are often made of a material called zirconia, which is a type of ceramic that is known for its strength and durability. Ceramic hip replacement cups are often used in patients who are younger or more active, as they are less likely to wear out over time than other materials, such as metal or plastic.
