Prediction of Wear in Crosslinked Polyethylene Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty

Prediction of Wear in Crosslinked Polyethylene Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty

Wear-related complications remain a major issue after unicompartmental arthroplasty. We used a computational model to predict knee wear generated in vitro under diverse conditions. Inverse finite element analysis of 2 different total knee arthroplasty designs was used to determine wear factors of st...
