Abstract Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and PEEK composites are outstanding candidates
for biomedical applications, such as orthopedic devices, where biocompatibility and …

Introduction Although metallosis is a well-known complication after total hip arthroplasty,
little is known about this phenomenon after total (TKA) or unicompartmental knee …

Purpose Biological reactions against wear particles are a common cause for revision in total
knee arthroplasty. To date, wear has mainly been attributed to polyethylene. However, the …

Although the real actual incidence of metallosis is unknown, it is described as a rare
diagnosis with a 5% estimated incidence in the hip prosthetic replacements. The adoption of …

Aims The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with the estimated lifetime risk of
revision surgery after primary knee arthroplasty (KA). Methods All patients from the Scottish …

Artificial finger joint design has been developed through different stages through the past.
PIP (proximal interphalangeal) and MCP (metacarpophalangeal) artificial finger joints have …

Background Bearing surface wear remains a potential concern amongst younger patients
undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Because of the potential for lower prosthetic wear …

Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) has been used as a coating material of choice for a variety of
technological applications owing to its favorable bio-tribo-thermo-mechanical …

Purpose Determine the incidence of metallosis around MAGEC rods. Methods A multicentre
explant database was searched to identify cases with complete intraoperative findings at rod …

Background Metallosis is a syndrome of metal-induced synovitis caused by friction between
two metal surfaces. In contrast to the hip joint after resurfacing arthroplasty or metal-on-metal …
