A novel technique for the detailed size characterization of wear debris (2000)
Journal Article
Elfick, A., Green, S., Pinder, I., & Unsworth, A. (2000). A novel technique for the detailed size characterization of wear debris. Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 11(5), 267-271. https://doi.org/10.1023/a%3A1008992911775

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.

An evaluation of the tribological performance of zirconia and CoCrMo femoral heads (1999)
Journal Article

Five new zirconia, five new CoCrMo and three explanted CoCrMo femoral heads were wear-tested in bovine serum for five million cycles using the Durham Hip Joint Wear Simulator. Wear was measured gravimetrically and surface topography with a 3D non-con... Read More about An evaluation of the tribological performance of zirconia and CoCrMo femoral heads.
