Metal‐on‐metal bearing wear with different swing phase loads
Tóm tắt
There is currently much discussion about the most clinically relevant testing methods for evaluating total hip replacements. This study examined the effect of different swing phase loads, including microseparation, on the wear, friction, and wear particles of metal‐on‐metal (MOM) hip replacements. MOM hip replacements were tested for 5 million cycles with the use of a hip simulator; prostheses were tested with a low (100‐N) and ISO (280‐N) swing phase load, and under microseparation conditions. Increasing the swing phase load from 100 to 280 N in the same hip simulator increased the wear of the MOM hip replacements by over tenfold. Introducing microseparation into the gait cycle increased wear further, and stripe wear was observed on the femoral heads, accompanied by corresponding rim damage on the acetabular cups. No significant difference in wear particle size was observed between wear particles produced by low load and microseparation hip simulator conditions. Introducing microseparation into the hip simulator gait cycle increased the wear of MOM prostheses. Joint laxity and separation may lead to increased wear rates of MOM prostheses
