Three-dimensional modeling of in vitro hip kinematics under micro-separation regime for ceramic on ceramic total hip prosthesis: An analysis of vibration and noise
This core research involved international collaboration with a French Orthopaedic Surgeon (El-hadi Sariali, hedisari@yahoo.fr) and presents for the first time, following fundamental in-vitro friction studies, a computational model of vibration and noise that may occur under edge loading conditions in Ceramic on Ceramic hip prostheses, a clinical concern worldwide. The study led to further work (doi:10.1016/j.jbiomech.2011.10.033, DOI: 10.1002/jor.21510, DOI: 10.1002/jor.21100) and was presented at the prestigious American Academy for Orthopaedic Surgeons (Las Vegas, 2009). These new findings are important to manufacturers (Ceramtec (http://www.ceramtec.com/biolox/), Mathys (http://www.mathysmedical.com/) and suppliers of ceramic on ceramic hip prostheses whom ensure product safety (Robert Streicher, R.Streicher@ceramtec.de).
