Metal ion release from metallic materials, eg metallic alloys and pure metals, implanted into
the human body in dental and orthopedic surgery is becoming a major cause for concern …

Adverse Local Tissue Reactions (ALTRs) are one of the main causes of hip implant failures.
Although the metal release from the implants is considered as a main etiology, the …

The objective of Part I of this analysis was to identify the relevant physicochemical
characteristics of wear particles from cobalt-chromium alloy (CoCr) metal-on-metal (MoM) …

The occurrence of audible squeaking in some patients with ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) hip
prostheses is a cause for concern. Great effort has been dedicated to understand the …

The lubrication regime of a hip implant is influenced by various parameters, including
material, geometry, roughness, relative angular movement, and loading circumstances …

Advantages of second‐generation metal‐on‐metal (MoM) hip implants include low
volumetric wear rates and the release of nanosized wear particles that are chemically inert …

This numerical study predicted wear of lubricated total knee replacements with the existing
of textured surface and the possibility of surface designs to reduce wear. In the first part, a …

The aim of this study was to develop a preclinical in vitro method to predict the occurrence
and severity of edge loading condition associated with the dynamic separation of the centres …

The lubrication regime in which artificial hip joints operate adds complexity to the prediction
of wear, as the joint operates in both the full fluid film regime—specifically the …

Some early failures of metal‐on‐metal (MoM) hip replacements associated with elevated
wear have caused concerns for the use of this bearing combination. Simulator studies have …
