MEDIUM TERM RESULTS OF CHARNLEY LOW OFFSET STEM

From: Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery | Date: January 1, 2004| Author: Ebied, A; Raut, V; Siney, P; Wroblewski, B M | Copyright information

Hip prostheses that do not reproduce the patients' preoperative femoral offset have been correlated with increased wear rate, instability, abductor weakness and reduced range of motion. We have reviewed the results of 54 primary low friction arthroplasties with low offset stem commonly called "¾ neck Charnley" in 49 patients (47 females and 2 males). There has been no publication in literature on the results of this stem. Mean age was 68 years (range 30 to 83). The operations were performed ...

Measurement of polyethylene wear in cementless total hip arthroplasty
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery ; We made a clinical study of polyethylene wear in 240 hips of 187 patients having primary total hip arthroplasties from 1989 to 1990, using uncemented Osteonics components, with a head size of 26 mm. We excluded cups with anteversion of over 20 deg.,and measured linear wear by a new method using a
Comparison of polyethylene wear with femoral heads of 22 mm and 32 mm: A prospective, randomised study
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery ; In this prospective, randomised study, we have compared the wear rate of cemented, acetabular polyethylene cups articulating with either a 22 mm or a 32 mm cobalt-chromium head. We evaluated 89 patients who had a total of 484 radiographs. The mean follow-up period was 71.4 months (SD 29.1). All the
Empirical testing of a universal law for surface wear
Tribology & Lubrication Technology ; Wear is defined as the gradual loss of material from a solid surface due to its interaction with a second contacting surface. For example, abrasive wear occurs particularly when tall sharp asperities from a hard surface produce gouges on a softer surface. STLE member Dr. Matthew Siniawski,
