This paper summarizes hip simulator and retrieval studies that were done to optimize 1
design of a second-generation metal-on-metal hip replacement. It was determined that …

When first introduced, total hip replacements offered pain relief and improved mobility in
elderly patients. The success of this procedure in terms of long-term durability and …

Metal‐on‐ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) total hip replacements have
been the most popular and clinically successful implants to date. However, it is well …

When it was first published some two decades ago, the original Handbook of Lubrication
and Tribologystood on technology's cutting-edge as the first comprehensive reference to …

The wear of the bearing surfaces of hip joint prostheses is a key problem causing their
primary failure. This paper introduces a wear prediction model with the aid of the finite …

Metal-on-metal total hip resurfacing is a bone-conserving reconstructive option for patients
with advanced articular damage. While intended to address several problems with …

The tribological testing of artificial hip and knee joints in the laboratory has been ongoing for
several decades. This work has been carried out in an attempt to simulate the loading and …

With the increasing interest in metal-on-metal (MoM) joint implants, studies have been
focused on their wear and corrosion behaviour. Integrated electrochemical tests have been …

Wear of the polyethylene in total joint prostheses has been a source of morbidity and early
device failure, which has been extensively reported in the last 20 years. Although research …

The use of ceramic‐on‐ceramic (alumina‐and zirconia‐based) couplings in hip joint
prostheses has been reported to produce lower wear rates than other combinations (ie …
