The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

The exact cause of bone cyst formation is likely multifactorial with contributing factors
including polyethylene wear, implant micromotion, and implant design. Nonoperative …

Inserting a titanium implant in the bone tissue may modify its physiological loading and
therefore cause bone resorption, via a phenomenon called stress-shielding. The local stress …

Background The long-term success of total ankle replacement (TAR) depends on both bone
ingrowth and remodelling. The extreme values of implant-bone micromotion hinder bone …

Lumbar spine fracture is typically treated by means of screw fixation, the primary aim of
which is to reduce fracture by achieving bony union such that the spinal anatomy is restored …

Background A proper combination of implant materials for Total Ankle Replacement (TAR)
may reduce stress at the bearing component and the resected surfaces of the tibia and talus …

Abstract Introduction Malalignment of the Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) has often been
postulated as the main reason for the high incidence of TAR failure. As the ankle joint has a …

Customized talus implants have been regarded as a better treatment alternative to talus
avascular necrosis than traditional surgical fusion because of its ability to maintain joint …

Purpose: Implant loosening in tibia after primary total ankle replacement (TAR) is one of the
common postoperative problems in TAR. Innovations in implant structure design may ideally …

The occurrence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) has increased in people with
osteoporosis due to decreased bone density, poor bone quality, and stress shielding from …
