Contents
• What are hip prostheses?– Types– Metal-on-polyethylene vs. metal-on-metal
• Wear• My work
– Linear and volumetric wear– Surface characterisation– Analyses of important factors
• What’s next?• Questions
Newcastle University
CREST
• Attempts to replace the damaged hip joint with long-lasting biocompatible materials
• Reduce pain and restore function• Can be traced back 120 years• Traditionally metal-on-polyethylene articulation• More recent shift to metal-on-metal articulation
What are hip prostheses?
Newcastle University
CREST
• Charnley – 1960s & 1970s• Survivorship can be around 80% after
20 years• Reported cases of early failures• Failures greater in younger patients
– Kim, 2003
• Polyethylene debris linked to osteolysis
Metal-on-polyethylene
Newcastle University
CREST
• MoM shown to produce smaller particles and less overall volumetric wear than MoP
• Machinability• Generally good short-term results
– Treacy et al, 2005 – 98% at 5 years– Khan et al, 2009 – 95.7% at 8 years
• Long-term studies less common
Metal-on-metal
Newcastle University
CREST
• Still many reported cases of early failure– Fracture– Infection– Metal debris
Metal-on-metal
Newcastle University
CREST
• Bearing surfaces• Many potential factors
– Manufacturing– Surgical– Patient
• Creates debris– Osteolysis– Metallosis
Wear
Newcastle University
CREST
• Extending prosthesis longevity through a reduction in wear
• Study of 150 retrieved components• Volumetric wear of retrieved components• Wear characterisation• Influencing factors
– Manufacturing– Surgical– Patient
My work
Newcastle University
CREST
• Co-ordinate measuring machine recommended by international standards
• Measures 3-dimensional Cartesian co-ordinates• Ruby-tipped contact stylus• 72 line scans ~2000 measured points• Self-centring scans• Some analysis
Volumetric wear
Newcastle University
CREST
• Co-ordinate data from CMM
• Linear wear depths calculated
• Wear volumes calculated– From 0.71 - 134.22mm3
– Wear rates from 0.02 - 5.77mm3/month

Surface characterisation
Newcastle University
CREST
• Unworn surface– Ra: 0.019μm– Rms: 0.039μm
• Transition zone– Ra: 0.028μm– Rms: 0.063μm
• Wear scar– Ra: 0.200μm– Rms: 0.280μm
