1. Functional properties of silicon nitride based materials for joint applications
Sammanfattning : Total hip and total knee replacements are generally successful procedures for patients suffering with pain due to bone fracture or diseases affecting the joints. However, the materials that are commonly used still have limitations. In particular, corrosion products and wear debris may give rise to negative body reactions. LÄS MER
2. Friction and Wear Mechanisms of Ceramic Surfaces : With Applications to Micro Motors and Hip Joint Replacements
Sammanfattning : Surfaces exposed to wear always transform and typically a layer of new structure and composition is formed. This layer, often called tribofilm, changes the friction and wear properties. LÄS MER
3. Silicon nitride for total hip replacements
Sammanfattning : For more than 50 years total hip replacements have been a common and successful procedure to increase patient mobility and quality of life. The 10-year implant survival rate is 97.8%. LÄS MER
4. Elbow kinematics : studies of the elbow joint under normal conditions and after joint replacement
Sammanfattning : Background: Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) is used for treatment of patients with severe pain and disability due to reumatoid arthritis. Long term results are not as good as for hip and knee replacements. LÄS MER
5. Knee joint kinematics and the effects of arthropasty component design
Sammanfattning : Aims: To evaluate the influence of medial osteoarthritis on knee joint kinematics and the effect of design in total knee replacements (TKR) on the kinematics of trunk, hip, knee and ankle. Associations between articulating surface design, clinical outcome and fixation of the tibial component were also evaluated. LÄS MER
