Large Metal Heads and Vitamin E Polyethylene Increase Frictional Torque in Total Hip Arthroplasty
2016, Journal of ArthroplastyCitation Excerpt :Recent commentary warns that this process has potentially harmed many patients and placed others at high risk [43]. Although important advances have reduced serious clinical concerns such as dislocation and osteolysis, taper corrosion has reemerged as a significant challenge in the last decade [43]. Although vitamin E polyethylene was developed to reduce oxidation and extend the life of hip implants, the clinical implications of increased frictional torque against vitamin E polyethylene should be monitored and studied closely to address whether these biomechanical findings potentially result in any clinical deleterious consequences.
Metallosis following a dual coat porous hydroxyapatite shoulder hemiarthroplasty
2015, Journal of OrthopaedicsCitation Excerpt :At the time of surgery the metallosis was evident in the tissue and histology was consistent with this finding. While general conclusions cannot be drawn from a single case, we can certainly ask the question as to whether one can transpose the success of one technology on a particular prosthesis to another.21 The clinical picture, nature of the scratching wear and in light of an uncemented device it is suggestive that the mechanism of failure was related to the surface coating.
