Corticosteroid use has been implicated in the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral
head (ONFH). The exact mechanism and predisposing factors such as age, gender, dosage …

Additive manufacturing (AM) nickel-based superalloys have been demonstrated to equate or
exceed mechanical properties of cast and wrought counterparts but their tribological …

Nanofibrous materials produced by electrospinning have attracted considerable attention
from researchers in regenerative medicine. A combination of nanofibrous scaffold and …

For successful tissue engineering of articular cartilage, a scaffold with mechanical properties
that match those of natural cartilage as closely as possible is needed. In the present study …

This study presents the characterisation of the surface topography, tomography and
chemistry of fretting corrosion product found on retrieved polished femoral stems. Scanning …

Background Debonding of the stem–cement interface occurs inevitably in-vivo under
physiological loading, and pseudo-synovial fluid is subsequently pumped into this interface …

Abstract The Ultima TPS MoM THR was designed and developed as a 2nd generation MoM
THR specifically aimed at younger more active patients due to the anticipated low wear rates …

BACKGROUND: It has been reported that bone cement correlates with survivorship of
cemented total hip replacement. However, little research has been published to investigate …

This study investigated the mechanical and tribological properties of branched
polyethyleneimine/polyacrylic acid (bPEI/PAA) coatings.(bPEI/PAA) coatings were prepared …

Debonding of the stem–cement interface occurs inevitably for almost all stem designs under
physiological loading, and the wear debris generated at this interface is showing an …
