This book describes the science, development, properties and
application of of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)
used in artificial joints. This material is currently used in 1.4
million patients around the world every year for use in the hip,
knee, upper extremities, and spine.
Since the publication of the 1st edition there have been major
advances in the development and clinical adoption of highly
crosslinked UHMWPE for hip and knee replacement. There has also
been a major international effort to introduce Vitamin E stabilized
UHMWPE for patients. The accumulated knowledge on these two classes
of materials are a key feature of the 2nd edition, along with an
additiona 19 additional chapters providing coverage of the key
engineering aspects (biomechanical and materials science) and
clinical/biological performance of UHMWPE, providing a more
complete reference for industrial and acedemic materials
specialists, and for surgeons and clinicians who require an
understanding of the biomaterials propeties of UHMWPE to work
successfully on patient applications.
- The UHMWPE Handbook is the comprehensive reference for
professionals, researchers, and clinicians working with
biomaterials technologies for joint replacement.
- New to this edition: 19 new chapters keep readers up to date with
this fast moving topic, including a new section on UHMWPE
biomaterials; highly crosslinked UHMWPE for hip and knee
replacement; Vitamin E stabilized UHMWPE for patients; clinical
performance, tribology an biologic interaction of UHMWPE.
- State-of-the-art coverage of UHMWPE technology, orthopedic
applications, biomaterial characterisation and engineering aspects
from recognisedleaders in the field.
