## Abstract The microstructure and its effect on the friction behavior of a medical grade wrought cobalt–chromium–molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy for surgical implants were studied in this work. In particular, the effects of compression and carbon (C) content on the above characteristics were analyzed. I

## Abstract Wear of the polyethylene in total joint prostheses has been a source of morbidity and early device failure, which has been extensively reported in the last 20 years. Although research continues to attempt to reduce the wear of polyethylene joint‐bearing surfaces by modifications in poly
## Abstract To control and minimize wear of metal‐on‐metal hip joints it is essential to understand the mechanisms of debris generation. __In vivo__, mainly nanosize globular and needle‐shaped particles are found. These can neither stem from the action of abrasion nor from tribochemical reactions.
