It has long been recognised that wear analysis of total joint replacements is an important means in determining failure mechanisms, functionality and improving longevity of these devices. The standardised method for assessing wear volumes in such joints is through gravimetric means and it has been s
The paper is concerned with the selection of materials for use in the design of the femoral component of cemented hip replacement joints. The analysis was performed using a three-dimensional finite element model with a representative physiological loading condition. A range of materials was consider
Various formulas have been proposed to calculate the volume of prosthetic wear from the penetration depth of the head as assessed on plain radiographs, based on idealized, three-dimensional geometrical models of a prosthetic hip. However, for most published formulas no (or no simple) derivation is a
## Abstract Precision is important if small polyethylene wear rates are to be detected early and in small sample sizes. Using an automatic, computerized algorithm relying on a synthetic Xβray generated from a computerβassisted design (CAD) model of the implant may significantly improve precision of
## Abstract We developed an analytical technique to determine the paths traced by specific points on the femoral head against the acetabulum in the human hip joint during gait. The purpose of the study was to apply this technique to the mechanical hip simulators chosen to conduct wear tests on poly
