Wear Testing of Total Hip Joints According to Iso and Development of a New Hip Joint Simulator According to Iso
INTRODUCTION The development of new, highly sophisticated materials for the articulating surfaces of total hip endoprostheses has led to an increasing demand for testing and verification. This includes tests and research regarding bio-compatibility, static load bearing capacity of the prostheses as well as tribological investigations. Since it has been found that wear debris play a dominant rol...
متن کاملLoads in hip disarticulation prostheses during normal daily use.
As a result of deficiency at birth, disease or trauma, there are people who have no limbs from the hip joint downwards. These people have no possibility of locomotion without the use of other devices such as wheelchairs or hip disarticulation prostheses. As these prostheses are used by people of all ages, people who are different in their grade of physical activities and their weights, the pros...
متن کاملInfluence of hip joint simulator design and mechanics on the wear and creep of metal-on-polyethylene bearings
Hip joint simulators are used extensively for preclinical testing of hip replacements. The variation in simulator design and test conditions used worldwide can affect the tribological performance of polyethylene. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of simulator mechanics and design on the wear and creep of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. In the first part of this study, an...
متن کاملContact mechanics and wear simulations of hip resurfacing devices using computational methods.
The development of computational and numerical methods provides the option to study the contact mechanics and wear of hip resurfacing devices. The importance of these techniques is justified by the extensive amount of testing and experimental work required to verify and improve current orthopaedic implant devices. As the demands for device longevity is increasing, it is as important as ever to ...
متن کاملWear of retrieved UHMWPE hip liners.
After the gamma-irradiation sterilization, the most widely used orthopaedic grade polymer bearing liner material for the total joint replacement, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), degrades through the progressive in vivo oxidation. The oxidative degradation makes UHMWPE brittle and leads to reduction of its mechanical properties. In this study, the effect of the in vivo post-ir...
