Design for Fabrication of a Knee Prosthesis Wear Simulator, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Durali, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Total knee replacement surgery is the most common joint replacement in the world. Considering the increasing rate of this procedure and costs and difficulties of the repeated operation, many efforts have been made to improve the performance and lifetime of implants. The Polyethylene component of the implant is the most prone component to fail due to wear. To evaluate new knee prosthesis designs, it is necessary to have a wear test simulator. Objective of this project is to detail design a knee prosthesis wear simulator according to ISO 14243 in order to investigate the performance of prosthesises in long term and under in-vivo conditions. During this project, studies have been made to get...
