Hip Joint Tribology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adhesive wear occurs by the transfer of material from one surface to another when two surfaces articulate against each other under load. The transferred material could break off and act as third-body particles resulting in abrasive wear. Abrasive wear occurs when material is removed from a surface by hard asperities on the counterface and hard particles (third body) trapped between the two contact surfaces. Corrosive wear occurs by the combination of mechanical wear and chemical reaction. Corrosion is the mechanism by which metal ions are released, and as this process is less understood than the other wear mechanisms, more details have been provided in Chapter 5.

Tribology and total hip arthroplasty implants.
Define tribology and discuss its effect on total hip arthroplasty (THA). Tribology is defined as the science of interacting surfaces in relative motion and includes the principles of friction, lubrication, and wear of implant materials. Tribology of the articulating materials in THA is the most important issue for long-term survival of the implants because the fixation of implants either with o...
متن کاملTribology of total hip arthroplasty prostheses
Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) has provided good results for over forty years, the choice of the optimal bearing surface still remains controversial. Tribology is defined as “the branch of science and technology that deals with the study of friction, wear, and lubrication”.1 Tribology is fundamental to the function and long-term survival of orthopaedic implants. With the development of h...
متن کاملAn in vitro simulation method for the tribological assessment of complete natural hip joints
The use of hip joint simulators to evaluate the tribological performance of total hip replacements is widely reported in the literature, however, in vitro simulation studies investigating the tribology of the natural hip joint are limited with heterogeneous methodologies reported. An in vitro simulation system for the complete natural hip joint, enabling the acetabulum and femoral head to be po...
متن کاملTribology in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Historical Development and Future Trends
Arthritis is a common disease in the elderly population. The most frequent treatment of arthritis is a total joint replacement. Approximatively 1.100.000 hip endoprostheses are implanted per year worldwide. This procedure is very successful in more than 90 % of the patients with good results after up to 10-year follow-ups. Unfortunately, due to the body’s reaction against the wear particles, th...
متن کاملEffect of motion inputs on the wear prediction of artificial hip joints
Hip joint simulators have been largely used to assess the wear performance of joint implants. Due to the complexity of joint movement, the motion mechanism adopted in simulators varies. The motion condition is particularly important for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) since polyethylene wear can be substantially increased by the bearing cross-shear motion. Computational wear m...
