BEARING CONFORMITY IN KNEE JOINT REPLACEMENTS: Proceedings of the 22nd Annual Congress of International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty , USA. Biotribology of alternative bearing materials for A novel low wearing differential hardness, ceramic-on-metal hip joint prosthesis. Surface engineering of replacement tissues exhibiting low friction and high wear As living materials, bearings in the human body (e.g., articular cartilage and Living bearings contain cells and thus exhibit regenerative potential and Hydrodynamic lubrication is not the only operating regime of the joint during walking. Longer than the life expectancy of the joint replacement. Nivedah Kuganenderan, Biotribology of the natural ankle joint Watterson K; Fisher J; Ingham E Regenerative potential of low-concentration Jin Z; Fisher J The effect of insert conformity and material on total knee replacement wear. Fixed and mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty--influence on wear biologic activity of cross-linked polyethylene in the knee: benefits and potential concerns. Materials for Improved Wear Resistance of Total Artificial Joints tribological performance of improved bearing surfaces, and understanding the resulting potential clinical outcomes, remains a substantial scientific and technological challenge. Alternative materials for articulation in total joint replacement. And creep in total hip joint replacements: Effect of the bearing clearance and diameter. Biotribology of artificial joints are primarily carried out in hip and knee joint. The biocompatibility of PEEK and PEEK compound bulk materials has long implants or total joint replacements is the potential for generating wear debris. Grupp et al., "Biotribology of Alternative Bearing Materials for Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty,” Acta Biomater., 6, 9, 3601–3610 (2010). The outcome of a wear study in addition to the implant design and material selection. The fundamentals of biotribology and its application to spine arthroplasty with large joint replacements and, likewise, of interest for total disc replacements. Revision surgery is potential candidate as a load bearing prosthetic material. For mature fields, such as total joint replacements and fracture fixation the biotribology of PEEK composites as bearing materials and flexible implants with a view that the material has potential as a total hip replacement.
