“…10 In particular, tribochemical reactions between the articulating surfaces can damage the biological media and surrounding tissue around the prosthetic materials and lead to the bone loosening. 11,12 Therefore, the tribological performance and service life of the GLC-coated medical devices can be greatly improved by suitable lubrication. 13 Recent in vitro biotribological studies have shown that NaCl solution, 14 simulated body fluid, 15 bovine serum 16 and model or synthetic fluids 17−19 normally functioned as a biological media, providing low-wear and low-friction properties for the prosthetic joint materials.…”

Complicated tribochemical reactions with the surrounding media often occur at the prosthesis material, which is a dominant factor causing the premature failure in revision surgery. Graphite-like carbon (GLC) film has been proven to be an excellent tribological adaption to water-based media, and this work focused on the friction and wear behavior of Mo-doped GLC (Mo-GLC)-coated poly(aryl ether ether ketone) sliding against Al2O3 counterpart in physiological saline, simulated body fluid, and fetal bovine serum (FBS), which mainly emphasized the interface interactions of the prosthetic materials/lubricant. Results showed different tribological responses of Mo-GLC/Al2O3 pairs strongly correlated with the interfacial reactions of the contacting area. Particularly, a transfer layer was believed to be responsible for the excellent wear reduction of Mo-GLC/Al2O3 pair in FBS medium, in which graphitic carbon and protein species were contained. The wear mechanisms are tentatively discussed according to the morphologies and chemical compositions of the worn surfaces examined by scanning electron microscope as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

“…This heating may inuence the rate of wear, fatigue, creep, and oxidative degradation of bearing materials [1,2]. Beside this, temperature rise can damage the surrounding tissue and lubricant around the articial joint and contribute cup loosening [1].…”

Friction between articulating surfaces cause temperature rise in acetabular cup and femoral head. This heating may inuence the rate of wear, fatigue, creep, oxidative degradation of bearing materials and may terminate surrounding tissue. The objective of this study is to determine temperature rise with dierent applied load for the articulating surfaces of conventional ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and vitamin E blended ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (VE-UHMWPE) acetabular components paired with a ceramic femoral component in bovine calf serum lubrication condition. Additionally frictional torque between the bearing surfaces was measured and friction coecient was calculated. Frictional measurements of the joints were carried out on a custom made hip joint friction simulator. Various levels of static loads were applied on 28 mm diameter prostheses. In exion-extension plane, a simple harmonic oscillatory motion between ±24• was applied to the UHMWPE acetabular component. The period of motion was 1 Hz and the tests were run up to 12,000 cycles. Temperature rise in acetabular and femoral component was recorded with embedded thermocouples. The results were compared in terms of UHMWPE and vitamin E blended UHMWPE.

“…The studies of the influence of the temperature rise due to the frictional heating of total hip prosthesis on the mechanical behavior of UHMWPE acetabular cup material have been developed [5][6][7][8]. Previous investigations of wear test using hip simulators have shown the propensity of frictional heating of the prosthesis articulation.…”

“…Previous investigations of wear test using hip simulators have shown the propensity of frictional heating of the prosthesis articulation. The observations also indicated that the magnitude of this heating is sufficient to influence the rate of wear, fatigue, creep, and oxidative degradation at the bearing surface of the UHMWPE and to alter its mechanical properties [6]. However, little studies have been made to investigate the influence of human body temperature on the mechanical behavior of UHMWPE prosthesis implanted in vivo.…”

The tests of the compressive mechanical properties of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) acetabular cup material were carried out under the simulating human body temperatures and the variable loads in human natural walking cycle. Compared with the values at the room temperature 22͠, the yield stresses of UHMWPE at human body temperatures 37 ͠ and 40͠ decreased by 23.1 and 31.9, respectively. And higher temperature caused larger compression strain and lesser deformation recovery. It can be concluded that human body temperature may accelerate the failure of UHMWPE prosthesis and that the strong influence of human body temperature on the mechanical properties of UHMWPE should be considered. The experimental study provides some basic data and references for UHMWPE prosthesis used in human body.
