Reduction of Wear in Fixed Bearing Total Knee Replacement Using Crosslinked Uhmwpe
Introduction Reduction of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) surface wear in total knee replacement (TKR) bearings may delay the onset of osteolysis and subsequent loosening of components. Crosslinking has been shown to increase the wear resistance of UHMWPE bearings in multidirectional total hip replacement applications when articulating against smooth counterfaces [1]. The aim ...
متن کاملCR TKA UHMWPE Wear Tested after Artificial Aging of the Vitamin E Treated Gliding Component by Simulating Daily Patient Activities
The wear behaviour of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is dominated by two wear mechanisms: the abrasive wear and the delamination of the gliding components, where the second is strongly linked to aging processes and stress concentration in the material. The addition of vitamin E to the bulk material is a potential way to reduce the aging processes. This study evaluates the wear behaviour and dela...
متن کاملOxidation resistant peroxide cross-linked UHMWPE produced by blending and surface diffusion
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been widely used as acetabular cup in total hip replacement (THR) and tibial component in total knee replacement (TKR). Crosslinking of UHMWPE has been successful used to improve its wear performance leading to longer life of orthopedic implants. Crosslinking can be performed by radiation or organic peroxides. Peroxide crosslinking is a conv...
متن کاملWear Reduction in Total Ankle Arthroplasty Using Highly Crosslinked UHMWPE
Introduction: Bearing couples within total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) typically utilize cobalt chromium alloys articulating on ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Articulation of these surfaces during in vivo loading can generate UHMWPE wear particles, which may then result in osteolysis and component loosening [1]. Osteolysis has been observed following TAA in 15-22% of patient pop...
متن کاملPEEK and CFR-PEEK as alternative bearing materials to UHMWPE in a fixed bearing total knee replacement: An experimental wear study
New bearing materials for total joint replacement have been explored as the need to improve longevity and enhance performance is driven by the changing demands of the patient demographic. Carbon-reinforced PEEK has demonstrated good wear characteristics in experimental wear simulation in both simple geometry pin-on-plate studies and in total hip joint replacement. Carbon reinforced PEEK CFR-PEE...
