A new approach using palm olein, palm kernel oil, and palm fatty acid distillate as alternative biolubricants: improving tribology in metal-on-metal contact

Metal-on-metal (MoM) hip replacements are commonly used hip implants. However, one of the issues under debate is the interference of friction and wear. The purpose of this feasibility study is to elucidate the performance of palm lubrication between the femoral head and the acetabular cup. In the tr...

description Metal-on-metal (MoM) hip replacements are commonly used hip implants. However, one of the issues under debate is the interference of friction and wear. The purpose of this feasibility study is to elucidate the performance of palm lubrication between the femoral head and the acetabular cup. In the tribology of hip implants, the use of palm olein, palm kernel oil, and palm fatty acid distillate as synthetic lubricants for human joints has shown tremendous potential. A modified pin-on-disc as hip screening has been used to evaluate the friction and wear on an acetabular cup with an inner diameter of 28 mm. The wear debris was then observed with microscopy image analysis. This study revealed that the physical and unique chemical properties in palm oil can optimize the rate of friction and wear on the metal acetabular cup and thus allow for a stable implant of MoM.
