“…While the majority of wear studies were conducted experimentally, computational wear prediction for the hip was reviewed in Ref. [350]. The integration of biomechanics and biotribology became important and was addressed from both computational [351] and experimental [352,353] approaches.…”

The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the recent advances in research pertaining to different aspects of tribology within the last 2 to 3 years. Different aspects of tribology that have been reviewed including lubrication, wear and surface engineering, biotribology, high temperature tribology, and computational tribology. This review attempts to highlight recent research and also presents future outlook pertaining to these aspects. It may however be noted that there are limitations of this review. One of the most important of these is that tribology being a highly multidisciplinary field, the research results are widely spread across various disciplines and there can be omissions because of this. Secondly, the topics dealt with in the field of tribology include only some of the salient topics (such as lubrication, wear, surface engineering, biotribology, high temperature tribology, and computational tribology) but there are many more aspects of tribology that have not been covered in this review. Despite these limitations it is hoped that such a review will bring the most recent salient research in focus and will be beneficial for the growing community of tribology researchers.

“…Though the literature counts many studies on experimental wear tests, most of them are based on simplified walking conditions and only rarely different motor tasks, such as jogging, are considered. 4,5 On the other hand, numerical wear models of hip joint prostheses are mostly used to simulate wear tests, as reviewed in Mattei et al 6 and Wang et al 7 Only in few cases, in vivo loading conditions from instrumented HAs 5,6 and kinematics from motion analysis recordings 8,9 are simulated. One example by the present authors is described in Mattei et al 10 and Mattei and Di Puccio 11 ; more recently, studies [12][13][14] compare wear predictions caused by several daily activities.…”

Numerical wear predictions are gaining increasing interest in many engineering applications, as they allow to simulate complex operative conditions not easily replicable in the laboratory. As far as hip prostheses are concerned, most of the wear models in the literature are based on the simulation of gait (recommended also in experimental wear tests), since gait is considered the most frequent and important motor task to recover after arthroplasty. However, since joint prostheses have been increasingly implanted in younger people, high loads and potentially severe conditions, e.g. due to sporting activities, should also be considered for a more reliable wear assessment of these implants. In this study, we propose a profitable combination of musculoskeletal and analytical wear modelling for the prediction of wear caused by common daily activities in metal-on-plastic hip arthroplasties. Several motion analysis data available in the literature (walking, fast walking, lunge, squat, stair negotiation) were selected and the effects of such motor tasks on prosthesis wear were investigated, both separately and in combination. Additionally, for comparative purposes, wear prediction for simplified gait conditions prescribed by the ISO 14242 standard, were also considered. Results suggest that this latter case produces lower wear depth and volume with respect to a relatively demanding combination of the selected daily activities. The preliminary results of the present study represent a first step towards the auspicious goal of validating the proposed procedure for in silico trials of hip arthroplasties.

“…Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most common surgeries performed in the world [1]. During the procedure, the degenerating femoral head, often with the acetabulum, is replaced with metal or ceramic prosthetic implants to reduce joint pain, enhance joint function and improve quality of life for patients [2].…”

“…Aseptic loosening is in part due to the poor fixation and integration of the bone with a prosthesis. Currently, there is an increasing trend toward cementless THRs which contain permeable porous coatings, especially in younger and more active patients placing additional demands on the device performance [1,7]. Highly porous coatings improve permeability along the bone-prosthesis interface and facilitate the transport of oxygen and nutrients which is dependent on diffusion gradients in blood [8].…”

Albumin-Enriched Fibrin Hydrogel Embedded in Active Ferromagnetic Networks Improves Osteoblast Differentiation and Vascular Self-Organisation

Porous coatings on prosthetic implants encourage implant fixation. Enhanced fixation may be achieved using a magneto-active porous coating that can deform elastically in vivo on the application of an external magnetic field, straining in-growing bone. Such a coating, made of 444 ferritic stainless steel fibres, was previously characterised in terms of its mechanical and cellular responses. In this work, co-cultures of human osteoblasts and endothelial cells were seeded into a novel fibrin-based hydrogel embedded in a 444 ferritic stainless steel fibre network. Albumin was successfully incorporated into fibrin hydrogels improving the specific permeability and the diffusion of fluorescently tagged dextrans without affecting their Young’s modulus. The beneficial effect of albumin was demonstrated by the upregulation of osteogenic and angiogenic gene expression. Furthermore, mineralisation, extracellular matrix production, and formation of vessel-like structures were enhanced in albumin-enriched fibrin hydrogels compared to fibrin hydrogels. Collectively, the results indicate that the albumin-enriched fibrin hydrogel is a promising bio-matrix for bone tissue engineering and orthopaedic applications.
