Investigation of Wear Behavior of Biopolymers for Total Knee Replacements Through Invitro Experimentation
The average life span of knee prosthesis used in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is approximately 10 to 15 years. Literature indicates that the reasons for implant failures include wear, infection, instability, and stiffness. However, the majority of failures are due to wear and tear of the prosthesis. The most common biopolymer used in TKR is Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Pr...
متن کاملComputational wear prediction of a total knee replacement from in vivo kinematics.
Wear of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene bearings in total knee replacements remains a major limitation to the longevity of these clinically successful devices. Few design tools are currently available to predict mild wear in implants based on varying kinematics, loads, and material properties. This paper reports the implementation of a computer modeling approach that uses fluoroscopica...
متن کاملAccuracy of biplane x-ray imaging combined with model-based tracking for measuring in-vivo patellofemoral joint motion
BACKGROUND Accurately measuring in-vivo motion of the knee's patellofemoral (PF) joint is challenging. Conventional measurement techniques have largely been unable to accurately measure three-dimensional, in-vivo motion of the patella during dynamic activities. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a new model-based technique for measuring PF joint motion. METHODS To assess ...
متن کاملAetna considers radiostereometric analysis for migration and wear of orthopedic implants and for all other indications (e.g., assessment of spinal fusion, evaluation of stability in lateral calcaneal lengthening osteotomies, and prediction of long‐term outcome in total hip
Background Radiostereometric analysis (RSA) has been used to determine migration and wear of orthopedic implants. Radiostereometry makes use of a cage with control marker and fiducial to calculate a three dimensional (3D) coordinate system. Spherical tantalum markers are inserted into the bone and implant to identify distinct points of measurement for each part of the skeleton and implant invol...
متن کاملImprovement in the assessment of wear of total knee replacements using coordinate-measuring machine techniques.
Total joint replacement is one of the most common elective surgical procedures performed worldwide, with an estimate of 1.5x 10(6) operations performed annually. Currently joint replacements are expected to function for 10-15 years; however, with an increase in life expectancy, and a greater call for knee replacement due to increased activity levels, there is a requirement to improve their func...
