Perspectives in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Advances in Biomaterials and their Tribological Interactions

The most popular orthopedic procedure, total hip arthroplasty, replaces or reconstructs the hip with an artificial joint. Perspectives in Total Hip Arthroplasty describes advancements in the biomaterials and technologies utilized in this procedure, emphasizing the tribological interactions between the materials. The first section covers the background of total hip arthroplasty before delving into new developments in methods and biomaterials. The second part of the article explains the tribology of the materials used in this procedure and how wear affects the load-bearing surface, which is a major reason why hip prostheses fail. A variety of materials are reviewed in the chapters, such as contemporary biomaterials, hybrid materials, metal, ceramic, and polyethylene. The tribological interactions of these materials during total hip replacement are also covered in the book. For clinicians, researchers, and academics interested in the tribology of total hip arthroplasty as well as materials scientists, engineers, and academics interested in the tribology of biomaterials, Perspectives in Total Hip Arthroplasty is an invaluable resource.
