Thermal oxidation process under water vapor environment was performed on biomedical
titanium alloys for 4 h at different treatment temperature changing from 600° C to 800° C to …

Thermal oxidation under water oxidizing atmosphere was performed on Ti6Al4V alloy under
different durations from 2 h to 8 h. Surface characterizations were performed using X-ray …

Total hip replacement has been a successful surgical intervention for over 50 years, with the
majority of bearings using a polyethylene cup. Long‐term failure due to osteolysis and …

This study investigates the tribological performances, ie, reduction in coefficients of friction
(COF), and surface wear of symmetrically micro-textured Ti-6Al-4V for the application of …

A ball-on-socket contact configuration was designed to simulate an artificial cervical disk in
structure. UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) hot pressed by powders and …

Study Design. Prospective longitudinal study. Objective. The serum titanium (Ti)
concentrations were examined in patients implanted with a PRESTIGE LP Cervical Disc …

Purpose Metal-on-metal total disc replacement is a recent alternative treatment for
degenerative disc disease. Wear and corrosion of these implants can lead to local and …

Background: Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has emerged as an alternative to anterior
cervical discectomy and fusion for degenerative cervical disc disease. The artificial discs …

A viscoelastic artificial disc may more closely replicate normal stiffness characteristics of the
healthy human disc compared with first-generation total disc replacement (TDR) devices …

Tribology is the science of interacting surfaces; when these surfaces are in a biological
system, it is called as biotribology. With the increasing rate of joint replacement operations …
