Amorphous Carbon Coatings for Total Knee Replacements—Part II: Tribological Behavior

Amorphous Carbon Coatings for Total Knee Replacements—Part II: Tribological Behavior

Diamond-like carbon coatings may decrease implant wear, therefore, they are helping to reduce aseptic loosening and increase service life of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). This two-part study addresses the development of such coatings for ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial in...
