Metal-on-metal (MOM) hip prosthesis bearings have enjoyed renewed popularity, but
concerns remain with wear debris and metal ion release causing a negative response in the …

In prosthesis, tribochemical reactions occur at the stem/bone interface. When coupled with
micro-motions it can lead to the loosening of the implant, osteolysis, release of metal ion and …

… Runa are employees of Exponent, a scientific and engineering consulting firm. They have

Background Recently, there has been increasing concern in the orthopedic community over
the use of hip implant modular devices due to an increasing number of reports of early failure…

In uncemented Ti6Al4V hip implants, the bone–stem interface is subjected to cyclic loading
motion driven by the daily activities of the patients, which may lead to the complete failure of …

Modern hip prostheses feature a modular implant design with at least one tapered junction.
This design can lead to several complications due to the introduction of additional interfaces, …

… Runa et al. reported a wear loss of 13.6 ± 3.25 µg for tribocorrosion using an alumina ball
of … Due to similar contact area, wear scar length, and load, Runa et al. had similar results to …

The release of metal ions and wear debris are raising serious concerns on metal-on-metal (MoM)
hip prosthesis. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the corrosion and …

Modular hip junctions operate in a challenging environment. This includes exposure to
cyclic loads, micromotions at the interfaces, and a shifting local chemical environment. The …

Total hip replacements (THR) are considered to be a successful surgical intervention in
orthopedic community. In a hip joint environment, the orthopedic metal implants are exposed to a …
