In Vitro Wear Testing of a CoCr-UHMWPE Finger Prosthesis with Hydroxyapatite Coated CoCr Stems
Lubricants, 2015 A finger prosthesis consisting of a Cobalt-chromium (CoCr) proximal component and an Ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) medial component (both mounted on hydroxyapatite coated stems) was evaluated to 5,000,000 cycles in an in vitro finger ...

Ti3C2T x ‐UHMWPE Nanocomposites—Towards an Enhanced Wear‐Resistance of Biomedical Implants
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2025.Polymeric biomedical materials, notably UHMWPE in load‐bearing joints, lack optimal mechanical and biotribological properties. This study aims to enhance Ti3C2T x ‐UHMWPE nanocomposites, improving mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and biotribological performance. Tests reveal no adverse effects on hardness, elasticity, or cytotoxicity.

An In vitro Simulation Method for the Tribological Assessment of Complete Natural Hip Joints [PDF]
, 2017 The use of hip joint simulators to evaluate the tribological performance of total hip replacements is widely reported in the literature, however, in vitro simulation studies investigating the tribology of the natural hip joint are limited with ...

Biotribology of artificial hip joints
World Journal of Orthopedics, 2015 Hip arthroplasty can be considered one of the major successes of orthopedic surgery, with more than 350000 replacements performed every year in the United States with a constantly increasing rate. The main limitations to the lifespan of these devices are due to tribological aspects, in particular the wear of mating surfaces, which implies a loss of ...

Influence of Neutral and Cationic Phytoglycogen Nanoparticles on Cartilage and Ocular Lubrication
Biosurface and Biotribology, Volume 11, Issue 1, January/December 2025.ABSTRACT Compromised hydration and biolubrication leads to untreatable disorders like osteoarthritis (OA), dry eye disease (DED) and dry mouth disease (xerostomia). Only symptomatic treatment is possible through bioactive molecules. This study aims to investigate the biolubrication properties of natural and modified phytoglycogen nanoparticles (PGNPs ...

Preliminary characterisation of the surface of cartilage following exposure to saturated and unsaturated synthetic lips [PDF]
, 2011 Articular cartilage is covered by a microscopic structure known as surface amorphous layer. This surface structure is often the first victim of attack during cartilage degeneration, thereby resulting in a gross impairment in cartilage function such as ...
