Sliding joints polyethylene

Lancaster J.G., D. Dowson, G.H. Isaac, and J. Fisher. 1997. The wear of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sliding on metallic and ceramic counterfaces representative of current femoral surfaces in joint replacement. Proc Inst Mech Eng [H] 211 17-24. [Pg.117]

Polymers can be used in the sliding parts of joints. Poly(tetrafluoroethy-lene) (PTFE) was proposed, thanks to its excellent sliding properties. However, PTFE does not resist friction under compression and is rapidly crushed, leading to loosening of the prosthesis. Ultra-high-density polyethylene is used in the hip when the head of the femoral part is made of stainless steel, and in the joint of the tibia in the knee prosthesis. [Pg.106]
