Description

Increasing numbers of joint revision and replacement operations drives the demand for improved prostheses. This book comprehensively reviews developments in joint replacement technology, covering the most pertinent materials science and engineering issues, specific joints, clinical trial results and sterilisation techniques. Part 1 discusses biomechanics, tribology, the chemical environment of the body and an overview of materials and engineering of joint replacement. The second part of the book reviews specific materials, bearing surfaces and bone cements, in addition to the failure mechanisms and lifetime prediction of joints. Part 3 discusses the biological environment and interaction of replacement joints. Specific joints are analysed in detail in Part 4. Key Features: reviews joint biomechanics and tribology; considers the use of metals and ceramics as joint replacement materials, joint design and bone cements; summarises research on prosthetic interaction with the body; discusses drug delivery systems to enhance joint replacement; analyses key issues in paticular joint replacements including the hip, knee, ankle and shoulder. Contents: Part 1 Introduction: Biomechanics of joints; Tribology in joint replacement; Biomaterials and the chemical environment of the body; Materials for joint replacement; Regulatory issues affecting joint replacement: The case of the UK. Part 2 Material and mechanical issues: Metals for joint replacement; Ceramics for joint replacement; Joint bearing surfaces and replacement joint design; Cementless fixation techniques in joint replacement; Bone cement fixation: acrylic cements; Bone cement fixation: glass-ionomer cements; Failure mechanisms in joint replacement; Predicting the lifetime of joints: clinical results. Part 3 The device biological environment: The healing response to implants used in joint replacement; Biological causes of prosthetic joint failure; Using drug delivery systems to enhance joint replacement; Sterilisation of joint replacement technology. Part 4 Specific joints: Hip replacement: Tribological principles, materials and engineering; Hip replacement: clinical perspectives; Knee replacement: Clinical perspectives; Intervertebral disc joint replacement technology; Replacing tempero-mandibular joints (TMJ); Replacing ankle joints; Replacing shoulder joints; Replacing elbow joints; Replacing joints with pyrolytic carbon.
