Abstract

A comparative laboratory study has been made of three widely used types of total hip replacement prostheses. With the aid of hip joint simulators and a specially designed wear measuring gauge the friction and wear characteristics of the prostheses have been measured during 1000 hr laboratory tests. Scanning Electron Microscope studies have shown the wear mechanisms operating in the different types of prostheses during the simulator tests. Similar studies of prostheses removed from patients have shown the validity of drawing conclusions about the clinical performance of the prostheses from the laboratory test results.
