Simple Mathematical and Computational Wear Model for Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Total Hip Replacements

Simple Mathematical and Computational Wear Model for Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Total Hip Replacements

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is an important constituent of hip implants. Surgical revisions are required because of implant loosening and osteolysis (destruction or resorption of bone tissue). We develop a mathematical and a computational model to determine implant life (defined as the...
