Medical grade ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been used as the
bearing surface of total joint replacements for over four decades. These polymeric devices …

Since the publication of the best-selling first edition, the growing price and environmental
cost of energy have increased the significance of tribology. Handbook of Lubrication and …

In vivo kinematic data indicate that unicondylar or edge loading occurs during normal
activities in well-aligned and malpositioned knee replacements. Using a validated explicit …

Whereas fixed-bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs secure the polyethylene
bearing to the tibial tray, mobile-bearing TKAs allow the bearing to move relative to the tray …

Abstract Background Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is an important fruit crop of tropical and
subtropical areas of the world. Genomics resources in guava are scanty. RNA-Seq based …

No clear picture of the deformation and wear mechanisms of Ultra High Molecular Weight
Polyethylene (UHMWPE) in artificial knee joints exists up to today. Tribological tests were …

With greater numbers of primary knee replacements now performed in younger patients
there is a demand for improved performance. Surface roughness of the femoral component …

Electron beam irradiation at doses below 150 kGy is a widely used technique to obtain
highly crosslinked ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Its current use in …

In severe conditions of osteoarthritis, total replacement of the knee joint is essential and it is
a well-established surgical procedure performed to relieve patient's discomfort and to …

The aim of this study was to better understand how in vivo oxidation contributes to fatigue
damage in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A total of 119 tibial inserts were consecutively …
