Download or read book Tribological Performance of Artificial Joints written by Amir Kamali and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joint replacement is a very successful medical treatment. However, the survivorship of the implants could be adversely affected due to the loss of materials in the form of particles or ions as the bearing surfaces articulate against earch other. The consequent tissue and immune response to the wear products, remain one of the key factors of their failure. Tribology has been defined as the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and all related wear products (e.g., particles, ions, etc.). Over the last few decades, in an attempt to understand and improve joint replacement technology, the tribological performance of several material combinations have been studied experimentally and assessed clinically. In addition, research has focused on the biological effects and long term consequences of wear products. Improvements have been made in manufacturing processes, precision engineering capabilities, device designs and materials properties in order to minimize wear and friction and maximize component longevity in vivo. This book investigates the in vivo and in vitro performance of the orthopaedic implants and their advanced bearings. Contributions are solicited from the researchers working in the field of biotribology and bioengineering

Download or read book Recent Advances In Upper Extremity Arthroplasty Proceedings Of The Brussels International Upper Extremity written by F Schuind and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-03-31 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While joint replacements at the lower extremity, particularly at the hip and knee, are performed on a daily basis in most departments of Orthopaedics, with great clinical success and long longetivity of the implant, the indications are much less frequent at the upper limb. Basic research follows the same tendency: while there are numerous basic or clinical research projects devoted to the hip or knee, very scarce reports are published on upper extremity joint replacements.The aims of publishing this volume are to promote the exchange of ideas, and to forster collaborative investigations among clinicians, manufacturers, engineers and other basic scientists involved with the problems of replacement arthroplasty in upper extremity joints, from the finger to the shoulder. The specific aims are: (1) to summarize scientific knowledge in the area of upper extremity joint replacement; (2) to discuss currently unsolved clinical problems and potential solutions based on current scientific knowledge; (3) to review new prosthetic designs; and (4) to explore future directions of investigation.In the first section, general concepts of arthroplasty and of upper extremity reconstruction are presented. Ronald Linscheid presents a short history of finger joint replacement. Alain Potaznik and Franz Burny discuss the problems of friction, wear and biological responses after the implantation of artificial joint replacement. Laurie Faro presents the European legislation for medical devices, such as arthroplasties. Finally, Frédéric Schuind and Franz Burny review the indications and contraindications to upper extremity arthroplasty.The following sections discuss for each upper extremity joint the indications of joint replacement, including the most frequent diseases, the prostheses designed for that particular joint, the biomechanical evaluation after prosthetic implantation, and the early or long-term clinical results. We made a special effort to include at the end of each section some alternative procedures of reconstruction.We are convinced that this unique book fills an important gap in the medical literature.

Download or read book Bio tribocorrosion in biomaterials and medical implants written by Y. Takakubo and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-09-30 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total joint replacement (TJR) is one of the success stories of modern medicine, which has reliably provided dramatic pain relief and improved the quality of life for several million patients with a destructive end-stage joint disease. However, the main long-term complication of TJR surgery is prosthetic loosening, often combined with osteolysis following wear, corrosion and failure of the implant. Over the past decade, the biological interactions between various types of wear particles and metal ions from metal-on-polyethylene (MoPE), metal-on-metal (MoM) and ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) implants, endogenous danger signals (alarmins) and/or bacterial components of the microbiome with the innate and adaptive host defence (immune) system, have become better known. In this chapter, we discuss the role of biomaterials and implant-derived wear and corrosion debris in loosening of TJRs, with particular emphasis on MoM total hip replacements (THR) and hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA).
