Analysis of Relative Motion between Femoral Head and Acetabular Cup and Advances in Computation of the Wear Factor for the Prosthetic Hip Joint

The amount and type of wear produced in the prosthetic hip joint depends on the type of relative motion between the femoral head and the acetabular cup. Wear particles removed from the bearing surfaces of the joint can cause adverse tissue reactions resulting in osteolysis and ultimately in loosenin...
