Additional information
This paper resulted from a KTP project with DePuy (KTP007712). The associate (Bryant) completed a PhD in 34 months. He investigated a particular series of failures in Norwich and Norfolk and found the cause backed up by underlying science where others failed. The results for this paper led to a MHRA device alert in 2012. The work is the first to link specific antibiotics in bone cement to initiation and propagation of crevice corrosion. The study is followed on in a large FPVII Project (Life Long Joints (LLJ, Grant Agreement No. NMP-310477)) €13.3M, Neville as scientific coordinator.
