Abstract:

Due to the fact that a growing number of young patients require joint replacements, the expected lifetime of the prostheses is considerably increasing, and patient activities are becoming more demanding. New materials and designs are being introduced. The technical challenge lies in developing new designs, with high-performance materials, and low wear to improve prosthesis life. The main issue is to pre-clinically investigate the new materials and designs. Many researchers have reported wear in total knee replacements investigated in simulators. A single simulator test can be very expensive an

Abstract:

Silicones are used to manufacture finger and wrist joints. However these joints have fractured prematurely in vivo. There is a lack of literature on the mechanical properties of silicones. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the viscoelastic and related properties of elastomers such as silicones and polyurethanes (suggested as a possible substitute for silicones in the implants) and to relate the properties to how an implant may perform in vivo. The viscoelastic properties of medical-grade silicones and Elast-Eon\(^{TM}\)3 were found to depend on frequency in compression. Above a certain

Abstract:

Wear is the main cause of failure of prosthetic implants, for this reason, it is important to invest in this research field and study possible causes of implant failure in order to prevent negative outcomes after joint arthroplasty and increase the lifespan of the artificial joint. The techniques commonly used to measure this phenomenon involve the use of hip simulators, which, however, are expensive and time-consuming and do not take into account the high variability between different patients. A valid alternative to experimental tests in the laboratory is the use of computational methods, al

Abstract:

The tribology of a wide range of designs of compliant layer acetabular cups has been evaluated using a simulator. The simulator applied a dynamic load of 2 kN and a sinusoidal motion of ±25 , and measured the frictional resistance directly. In general the friction developed in these joints was extremely low, with friction factors typically below 0.01. When the experimental results were compared with theoretical estimates of friction a poor correlation was found. Further analysis suggested that the design of compliant layer acetabular cups was insensitive to many of the parameters suggested by

Abstract:

Demand for joint replacements is rising in Australia, driven by a sharp increase in the number of joint problems associated with population aging and obesity. In artificial joints, delamination or failure within the coatings occurs when the stress reaches a critical level, resulting in large wear debris particles appearing on the contact surface between the head and the cup. The process has been described as due to a stress-corrosion-cracking mechanism. Under the same loading, stress increases when the contact area decreases, which happens in the vicinity of wear debris. As such, once wear deb

Abstract:

Total joint replacement is one of the most common elective surgical procedures performed worldwide, with an estimate of 1.5 million operations performed annually. It has long been recognised that wear analysis of total joint replacements is an important means in determining failure mechanisms, functionality and improving longevity of these devices. The standardised method for assessing wear volumes in such joints is through gravimetric means and it has been shown that this method is a useful tool for indicating simulated wear volumes. This method is, however, of little value when considering t

Introduction: Establishing best practice for knee replacement is important given the large number of procedures performed. Research into knee replacement is problematic given that implant failure is a rare event. The logistical and financial costs associated with prospective clinical trials are therefore high.

Abstract:

Surfaces exposed to wear always transform and typically a layer of new structure and composition is formed. This layer, often called tribofilm, changes the friction and wear properties. Tribofilms formed on ceramic surfaces may consist of products from chemical reactions between the materials in contact and the environment or consist of compacted wear debris. In this thesis, focus has been to understand the friction and wear mechanisms of ceramic surfaces, as well as acquiring knowledge about the properties of the new surfaces created during wear. Ultimately, this understanding can be used to

Abstract:

Edge loading is multifactorial and has been identified as a risk leading to the revision of hip joint replacements. Pre-clinical testing requirements currently do not incorporate edge loading. Previous testing of edge loading has been carried out as controlled dynamic microseparation of 0.5 mm via a spring, where the femoral head contacts the rim section of the acetabular cup. The input conditions of these tests did not allow the individual evaluation of other variables due to the constraints of the methodology. The aim of these studies was to evaluate the effect on the occurrence and severity

Abstract:

The metacarpophalangeal joint is vital for hand function. It is frequently affected by rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis and in some cases the diseased joint is replaced with an implant. The past and current metacarpophalangeal joint replacements can be divided into three main categories: hinge implants, flexible implants and surface replacement implants. There is some frustration among hand surgeons as these implants fail in vivo in comparison with the replacement of larger joints such as the hip or knee.

Using 100% bovine serum as the joint fluid analog, UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) wear-rates have been continually underestimated and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) wear has been overestimated.

The use of total ankle replacement (TAR) for treatment of arthritis is rapidly increasing, but survival rates are of major concern. The primary indication for TAR revision is implant loosening, which is linked with inadequate primary stability manifested in higher levels of initial implant-bone micromotion. Finite-element (FE) modelling has been utilised to assess micromotion of arthroplasty implants, but not TAR. Additionally, the biomechanical consequences of TAR malpositioning during surgery – previously linked with higher failure rates – remain unexplored. The aim of this thesis was theref

The hip joint capsule is a complex soft tissue structure that comprises a number of ligaments with different thickness and strength respectively, as well as a thinner membrane-like part that provides the structural integrity for the capsule. The role of the capsule is twofold, forming a closed environment around the joint surfaces, in which the synovial fluids are retained, but also providing a passive joint resistance that acts in addition to the surrounding muscles and mainly in extreme limb positions and in unexpected limb loading. Despite its important role, the capsule is commonly removed
