One of the most popular and effective orthopedic surgical interventions for treating a variety
of hip diseases is total hip arthroplasty. Despite being a radical procedure that involves …

The potential advantages of contemporary MoM THA implants include less volumetric wear
with subsequent reduction of polyethylene wear-induced osteolysis and greater component …

Cobalt-containing alloys are useful for orthopedic applications due to their low volumetric
wear rates, corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, hardness, and fatigue …

Aims The aim of this study was to describe temporal trends and survivorship of total hip
arthroplasty (THA) in very young patients, aged≤ 20 years. Patients and Methods A …

Biomedical cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloys have been used in the cast or
wrought form as prosthetic implant materials for more than five decades. Recently, additive …

Metals and metal alloys are the most used materials in orthopedic implants. The focus is on
total hip arthroplasty (THA) that, though well tolerated, may be associated with local and …

Adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs) are a prominent cause of hip implant failure. ALTRs
are characterized by aseptic necrosis and leukocyte infiltration of synovial tissue. The …

Adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) are the primary cause of failure of metal on metal
(MoM) hip implants, and fewer but not negligible number cases of nonmodular metal on …

Aims This study investigates head-neck taper corrosion with varying head size in a novel hip
simulator instrumented to measure corrosion related electrical activity under torsional loads …

In this article, I describe how gender bias can affect the design, testing, clinical trials,
regulatory approval, and clinical use of implantable devices. I argue that bad outcomes …
