Although hip, knee and other orthopaedic implants are
well-established prostheses, much remains to be understood about
how these implants wear in use. This important book summarises the
wealth of recent research in this area and its implications for
implant and joint design.
After an introductory overview, the book reviews the causes and
prevention of implant wear. Part one discusses fundamental issues
such as tissue response to wear, the anatomy and biomechanics of
hips and knees as well as the materials and design issues they
raise for hip, knee and other types of orthopaedic implant. Part
two considers wear phenomena in a range of materials, including
ultra-high molecular weight (UHMWPE), metal and ceramic joints. It
also covers surgical and other factors influencing wear as well as
ways of detecting, analysing and predicting implant wear and
failure.
With its distinguished editor and international team of
contributors, Wear of orthopaedic implants and artificial joints is
a standard reference for implant manufacturers, surgeons and those
researching this important area.
