Effects of Gamma Irradiation and Accelerated Aging on Wear Properties of UHMWPE Artificial Joint
Oxidative degradation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE; PE), due to gamma irradiation sterilization in air, increases wear rate in artificial joint. Not only adhesive and abrasive wear but also delamination (flaking), a typical wear of the PE component in artificial knee joint, and fracture could be observed. This paper deals with gamma-irradiation effects on severe wear mech...
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 کاملKnee Wear of Antioxidant-Stabilized UHMWPE under Aggressive Accelerated Aging Protocol
Introduction Long-term success of TKA depends on several factors including wear, fracture resistance, and oxidative stability. A recent evaluation has shown that when accelerated aging protocols are extended out to 40 days, an antioxidant-stabilized UHMWPE outperformed non-irradiated GUR 1020, by remarkably retaining its mechanical properties, while the reputed oxidatively stable material exper...
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...
متن کاملMechanical Properties and Tribological Behaviour of Retrieved UHMWPE Tibial Insert in Total Knee Replacement after Implantation 30 Months
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been used as a load bearing and articulating counter face in total knee replacement (TKR) for over forty years1. However, wear debris generation of UHMWPE materials after their implantation in the human body has been proven to induce osteolysis and aseptic loosening, which is the main cause of long-term failure of TKR composed of UHMWPE and ...
