Tribology in Total Hip Arthroplasty(Softcover)

Covers the basics in tribology
Analyses in detail the use of ceramics in total hip arthroplast
Discusses the effectiveness of new polyethylenes
Investigates concerns regarding metal wear
During the 2010 EFORT Congress in Madrid, many interesting topics relating to tribology in total hip arthroplasty were
discussed during a special day devoted entirely to the subject. So successful was the day, and such was the broad
interest in the discussions, that EFORT decided that publication of all the presentations would be warmly welcomed by
fellow professionals who were unable to attend. This book is the result. It includes detailed information on the
different articulating materials and the wear to which they are subject. The various factors that contribute to bearing
performance and control wear are thoroughly evaluated, and careful consideration is given to the technology and design
solutions proposed with a view to producing low-wearing hip joints. This book will be of interest both to novices who
want to learn more about the field and to experienced orthopaedic surgeons wishing to keep abreast of the latest
developments.
