Abstract:
Hip simulators are designed to reproduce the forces and motion patterns of normal walking. In vivo demands on total hip replacements, however, are varied and often more severe than normal walking conditions. It is these severe conditions that often lead to implant failure. This is clinically based research aimed at understanding some of the more severe conditions in hips and the effect that these have on the performance of the total hip replacement. The polyethylene liner can act as a pump in an acetabular component, forcing fluid and wear particles through the holes to the retroacetabular bon

Abstract:
The most important hip post-surgery problem is named Edge Loading (EL). This phenomenon significantly increases the contact pressure on the ball and the socket of the hip prosthesis hence decreasing the lifetime of the hip prosthesis drastically. Nowadays millions of patients cannot go under total hip replacement surgery due to the short lifetime of the hip prostheses. This research mainly focuses on finding solution for reducing the effect of this phenomenon. In this research, reasons of EL are investigated and important factors in designing of the prosthesis are studied. Furthermore, a novel

Leg length inequality (LLI) following total hip replacement was first recognised by Charnley when the operation was popularised but has only recently increased in prominence in the literature. The definition of an unacceptable value of LLI is controversial and is complicated not only by the lack of agreement of significance but also by the fact that for any given magnitude of LLI, only a proportion will be symptomatic.

Abstract:
Long term (>2 years) failure of UHMWPE components in-vivo is predominantly caused by wear of the UHMWPE component. The surface properties of UHMWPE greatly influence the adhesive and abrasive mechanisms of wear that occur in the hip. However, there is not a clear understanding of how in-vivo wear mechanisms influence surface mechanical properties of UHMWPE. In addition, previous researchers have reported wear rates for Charnley UHMWPE acetabular components that vary considerably between patients. It is conceivable that these variations in wear are a result of variations in the surface mechanic

Symptomatic hip osteoarthritis is associated with poor general health status and surgical intervention (total hip replacement; THR) is the most effective treatment for end stage disease. This procedure generally resolves pain, but function usually remains substantially sub-optimal. This protracted disability has detrimental economic, social and health consequences.

Due to the large variation in patient morphology and pelvic kinematics, current technologies lack definition of what constitutes the optimal target alignment for an individual. Analyses of large series of problematic THAs confirm that apparently well-orientated components on standard radiographs can still fail due to functional component malalignment.

Wear is the number one concern with regards to the longevity of THR (total hip replacement). Therefore, reliable in-vitro prediction of wear is necessary. Thus, the laboratory should first validate their hip simulators with known clinical materials. The limiting factor in hip wear simulation has been the joint fluid analog. 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.

Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most successful and most frequently performed operations. For most implants the published rate of revision at 10 years is less than 10%. However the revision rates are higher for younger and more active patients who are likely to outlive their implants. The most frequent cause of THR failure is aseptic loosening, commonly accompanied by bone loss at the implant site.
