Quantifying the bearing surface wear of retrieved hip replacements

Quantifying the bearing surface wear of retrieved hip replacements

Accurate quantification of bearing material loss from retrieved metal-on-metal (MOM) hip replacements is key to understanding their failure. Geometric methods are currently the only means of estimating volumetric wear from retrieved implants and numerous contrasting approaches to obtain these measur...
