Journal Article
Boampong, D., Green, S., & Unsworth, A. (2003). N+ ion implantation of Ti6Al4V alloy and UHMWPE for total joint replacement application. Journal of Applied Biomaterials & Biomechanics, 1, 164-171

Multidirectional pin-on-plate tribological wear tests were performed to evaluate and compare the tribological behavior of N+ ion-implanted and unmodified Ti6Al4V/ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding couples, for total joint repla...

The nature and dissemination of UHMWPE wear debris retrieved from periprosthetic tissue of THR (2003)
Journal Article
Elfick, A., Green, S., Krikler, S., & Unsworth, A. (2003). The nature and dissemination of UHMWPE wear debris retrieved from periprosthetic tissue of THR. Journal of biomedical materials research, 65A(1), 95-108. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbm.a.10455

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...

A preliminary hip joint simulator study of the migration of a cemented femoral stem (2003)
Journal Article
Liu, C., Green, S., Watkins, N., Gregg, P., & McCaskie, A. (2003). A preliminary hip joint simulator study of the migration of a cemented femoral stem. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 217(2), 127-135. https://doi.org/10.1243/09544110360579349

A hip joint simulator that can be used to evaluate the outcome of the cemented total hip replacement has been designed, manufactured and evaluated. The simulator produces motion of a cemented hip construct in the extension/flexion plane, with a socke...
