The implication of polyethylene wear particles as the dominant cause of periprosthetic osteolysis
has created a resurgence of interest in metal-on-metal implants for total hip arthroplasty …

A major concern in total hip arthroplasty is the generation of polyethylene wear particles at
the articulating surfaces and resulting macrophage mediated periimplant osteolysis. There is …

There has been a revived interest in metal–metal total hip replacements because of their
potential for improved wear performance compared with conventional metal–polyethylene …

Key points • Sympathetic support of blood pressure demands the efficient control of vascular
tone; however, little is known regarding how spontaneously occurring bursts of muscle …

The purpose of the present study was to compare wear particles isolated from metal–metal (MM)
hip implants worn in an orbital bearing simulator with particles from similar MM total hip …

Previous studies of metal on metal hip implants have shown that it is possible to obtain
substantially lower volumetric wear than with metal on polyethylene pairings. To work toward …

The objective of this workshop was to provide a forum to discuss the reintroduction of metal
on metal bearings for clinical use in total hip arthroplasty. Approximately 100 researchers …

Purpose. The majority of studies investigating protein deposition on contact lens materials
require that the deposit of interest be removed, potentially resulting in erroneous results if …

Background Implant design parameters can be changed during reverse shoulder arthroplasty
(RSA) to improve range of motion and stability; however, little is known regarding their …

Isolation of metal wear particles from hip simulator lubricants or tissues surrounding implants
is a challenging problem because of small particle size, their tendency to agglomerate, and …
