The role of wear debris in provoking joint replacement failure through bone resorption is now supported by much research. This study presents the analysis of 104 tissue samples using laser diffraction wear particle analysis in conjunction with standa...

The morphological and material features of 10 worn ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) acetabular sockets were assessed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of topography, stiffness and adhesion. Six of the sockets were simulator... Read More about A re-appraisal of wear features of acetabular sockets using atomic force microscopy..

Biomaterial wear particles are known to provoke a foreign-body reaction when released from total joint prostheses. Considerable effort is being invested in the search for materials which, by wearing less, will release fewer particles. In this researc...

The accurate and detailed characterization of artificial joint wear debris is important in determining both the wear rate of prostheses and understanding the role that the debris plays in the development and progression of aseptic loosening. The nove... Read More about A novel technique for the detailed size characterization of wear debris.
