In-vitro Wear Measurement of Artificial Knee Prostheses

This study describes the in-vitro measurement of wear with respect to total knee prostheses and a case study is presented. The objectives of a wear evaluation (ISO 14243) are given and test procedures for wear evaluation on joint-simulating machines are detailed. Information known about the in vitro conditions which a joint prosthesis faces is given, and there is a discussion of the design of a test machine. Finally an overall program for the evaluation of the wear behavior of a real artificial knee-joint prosthesis is described. (J.-C. Hsiung, S.-J. Hsu, J.-J. Liau, Toru Maruyama.
