✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The hip is a ball and socket joint designed to bear the body mass as well as for facilitating the movement in many directions. Hip replacement is an operation to replace a natural hip joint with an artificial one. The aim of the present work is to conduct a parametric study that comprises the parameters affecting the strength of hip‐joint cement fixation (offset distance and ball diameter), in order to come‐up with the best combination for maximum strength. The results lead to recommending offset distance (3–6 mm) and ball sizes (34 and 50 mm) for maximum cement strength.

The pseudojoint cavity formed in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) is later remodeled to synovial membrane-like tissue, which produces pseudosynovial fluid. This pseudosynovium also is an important source of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). As it is widely speculated that synovial fl

## Abstract The acid resistance of tantalum coated and uncoated human hip joint prostheses was studied with commercial CrCoMo acetabular cups. The samples were exposed to 10% HCl solution and the quantities of dissolved Cr, Co, and Mo were measured with proton‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE). The abs
