Limitation of the Lubricating Ability of Total Hip Prostheses with Hard on Hard Sliding Material

Recently, metal on metal hip prostheses have been revived following excellent clinical results. However, the risk of wear diseases has not been removed yet. Fluid film formation is necessary for long term reliability of a total hip prosthesis because solid contact of the prosthesis induces serious w...
