Cellular basis for failure of joint prosthesis
Bio-Medical Materials and Engineering, 1996In recent times, loosening of joint prosthesis resulting in failure, is of grave concern to orthopedicians. It is estimated that 50% of total hip replacements become loose after 15 years, and most of them require either revision surgery or resection orthoplasty.

The inverse prosthesis as a revision prosthesis in failures of shoulder hemiarthroplasty.
La Chirurgia degli organi di movimento, 2005The authors describe their series of seven cases of complications and failures of shoulder hemiarthroplasty that were submitted to revision surgery involving an inverse prosthesis. This prosthesis has for some time now been indicated in elderly patients with arthropathy caused by rupture of the cuff.

Failure of a Novel Ceramic-on-Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Prosthesis
The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2015We report the early failure of five ceramic-on-ceramic hip resurfacings (CoCHRs). The ceramic used for the acetabular liner was a novel ceramic-composite (two thirds polyurethane and one third alumina ceramic). All cases were revised for increasing metal ion levels (blood cobalt 3.93-208.0 μg/l and chromium 1.57-17.5 μg/l) due to ceramic liner fracture

Failure Analysis of Cementless Hip Joint Prosthesis
Advanced Materials Research, 2013In this changing global scenario, modification, transplantation, and replacement can be the eternal solution for most of the problems in the medical field. Hence replacement technique finds a very prominent place in medicine as a remedy having closely tied up with biomechanics.

Failures of the RM finger prosthesis joint replacement system
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2011In our unit a high failure rate of the RM finger prosthesis joint replacement system was noted, prompting a review of cases. A series of patients underwent implantation under the care of one surgeon and the results were monitored. Twenty-one devices were implanted of which 16 were inserted for rheumatoid disease.
