Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been successfully used to reduce bleeding in joint replacement. Recently local TXA has been advocated to reduce blood loss in total knee or hip replacement; however, this raised concerns about potential adverse ef...

Carbon fibre–reinforced polyetheretherketone is an attractive alternative to ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene in artificial joints, but little has been published on the influence of stress on the wear factor. We know that in ultra-high-molecu...

Retrieval analysis of alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearing couples (2014)
Journal Article
Korim, M., Scholes, S., Unsworth, A., & Power, R. (2014). Retrieval analysis of alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearing couples. Acta Orthopaedica, 85(2), 133-140. https://doi.org/10.3109/17453674.2014.894390

Background and purpose: Ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been in use in total hip replacement (THR) for more than 40 years, with excellent long-term survivorship. Although there have been several simulator studies describing the performance of... Read More about Retrieval analysis of alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearing couples.
