Book excerpt: Tribology has been central to the development of this field of engineering and Friction, Lubrication, and Wear of Artificial Joints brings together the work of the foremost authorities. Recent key work, particularly on hip and knee replacement prostheses form the major part of this book. Artificial joint technology, clinical practice, and the monitoring of on-going wear in use have progressed by leaps and bounds in the last few years. Medical research engineers, tribology specialists, and materials technologists each play an important role in ensuring that this marriage of engineering and medicine delivers the best possible outcome for the patients who receive the implants. Contents of this book include: Biotribology - A personal view The influence of component geometry on the measurement of wear A tribological study of metal-on-metal total replacement hip joints The lubrication and friction of conventional UHMWPE, novel compliant layer and hard bearing surfaces for use in total hip prostheses Prediction of lubricating film thickness in UHMWPE hip joint replacements Wear of ceramic-on-ceramic hip prostheses under micro-separation simulation conditions Friction and wear testing of DLC type coatings on total hip replacement prostheses Simulator testing of total knee replacement A new measurement method for wear scars generated with knee simulators

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint endoprosthetics - the science of implanting artificial joints into the human body - has been around since the 1960’s, and consistent advancements are leading to better practice, materials and mechanics. The present book is devoted to the biophysics and effect of wear, friction and lubrication on artificial joints. The important aspects of biocompatibility and wear resistance are reviewed and a retrospective analysis of modern joint endoprosthetic designs is presented. Data on clinical aspects of endoprosthetics are cited in support of the text. Advancements in genetic engineering, and promising new techniques of designing bone and cartilage transplants are explored, and a critical comparison between tribological mechanisms of operation and natural joint functioning are made. An exceptional resource for all specialists in orthopedy, biophysics, immunology and engineers engaged in developing artificial joints.

Book excerpt: Tribology is the science of interacting surfaces; when these surfaces are in a biological system, it is called as biotribology. With the increasing rate of joint replacement operations and need for artificial prosthesis, biotribology is becoming a very important and rapidly growing branch of tribology. Based on this fact, in this chapter, basic tribological concepts are presented in terms of friction, lubrication, and wear; then with these fundamental backgrounds the biotribological behavior of natural and artificial hip joints are discussed in detail. Moreover, material pairs that are used in artificial joint replacements and the application of surface modification for the enhancement of the tribological properties of these materials are handled. Furthermore, the determination of tribological behavior of joint materials such as wear, coefficient of friction, friction torque, and frictional heating by using conventional techniques and hip joint simulator are discussed. Finally, the measurement and analysis of wear in both retrieved prosthesis and experimental studies are discussed referring the latest research articles.
