Corrosion being worse than wear particulate. This is like solid lead vs. White powder lead oxide in lead paint. The oxide form is more bioavailable thus more toxic. This is another reason I think pushing toward metal oxide based ceramics is not a good move. Especially with Amedica patents trying to solve material phase changes in vivo to prevent implant failure from cracking. Suggests the ceramic can degrade to it's base elements and become bioavailable like SiNi. That would be 80% aluminum oxide that accumulates in the bones weakening them thus hard to detect in urine.
