Smith-Petersen mold arthroplasty

Although a variety of metallic biomaterials have been employed in joint arthroplasty, alloys of cobalt, 28% chromium, and 6% molybdenum (CoCr) are viewed as the gold standard for use in MOM bearings. CoCr alloy is also considered the gold standard as a femoral head material for articulations against conventional as well as highly crosslinked UHMWPE (Muratoglu and Kurtz 2002, Sauer and Anthony 1998). CoCr alloys (e.g., Vitallium ) have been used for hip replacements since 1938, when the biomaterial was employed in the Smith-Petersen mold arthroplasty (Smith-Petersen 1948). [Pg.94]

Interestingly, earlier (imsuccessful) iterations of the mold arthroplasty, dating from 1923 to 1937, employed glass, Pyrex, viscaloid, and bakelite (Smith-Petersen... [Pg.94]
