Currently, an artificial hip joint can be expected to last, on average, in excess of 15 years with failure due, in the majority of cases, to late aseptic loosening of the acetabular component. A realistic alternative to the problem of wear in convent... Read More about Design aspects of compliant, soft layer bearings for an experimental hip prosthesis.
