A re-appraisal of wear features of acetabular sockets using atomic force microscopy. (2002)
Journal Article
Elfick, A., Smith, S., Green, S., & Unsworth, A. (2002). A re-appraisal of wear features of acetabular sockets using atomic force microscopy. Wear, 253(7-8), 839-847. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0043-1648%2802%2900142-4

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..

A comparison of the wear of cross-linked polyethylene against itself under reciprocating and multi-directional motion with different lubricants. (2001)
Journal Article
Joyce, T., Vandelli, C., Cartwright, T., & Unsworth, A. (2001). A comparison of the wear of cross-linked polyethylene against itself under reciprocating and multi-directional motion with different lubricants. Wear, 250(1-12), 206-211. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0043-1648%2801%2900660-3

A two-piece, silane cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) finger prosthesis has been developed. To further the knowledge of the wear of XLPE against itself, a number of ‘pin-on-plate’ wear tests were undertaken, under different conditions of lubrication....

The quantitative assessment of UHMWPE wear debris produced in hip simulator testing : the influence of head material and roughness, motion and loading (2001)
Journal Article
Elfick, A., Smith, S., Green, S., & Unsworth, A. (2001). The quantitative assessment of UHMWPE wear debris produced in hip simulator testing : the influence of head material and roughness, motion and loading. Wear, 249(5-6), 517-527. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0043-1648%2801%2900589-0

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...

Pin-on-plate studies on the effect of rotation on the wear of metal-on-metal samples (2001)
Journal Article
Scholes, S., & Unsworth, A. (2001). Pin-on-plate studies on the effect of rotation on the wear of metal-on-metal samples. Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 12(4), 299-303. https://doi.org/10.1023/a%3A1011238902803

An important cause of osteolysis and subsequent loosening of replacement hip joints is the body's biological response to polyethylene wear debris. Interest has thus been renewed in hard bearing surfaces such as metal-on-metal implants. Tests were per...
