RISIncreased Conformity Offers Diminishing Returns for Reducing Total Knee Replacement Wear
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wear remains a significant problem limiting the lifespan of total knee replacements (TKRs). Though increased conformity between TKR components has the potential to decrease wear, the optimal ...
The Quantification of Physiologically Relevant Cross-Shear Wear Phenomena on Orthopaedic Bearing Materials Using the MAX-Shear Wear Testing System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: The occurrence of multi-directional sliding motion between total knee replacement bearing surfaces is theorized to be a primary wear and failure mechanism of ultra-high molecular weight ...
