Abstract:

The paper presents an analysis of the processes that determine the durability of the polyethylene cup of the Weller total hip prosthesis. Mechanisms of wear of the polyethylene cup have been presented. It has been inferred that the process of loosening of the polyethylene cup is a combination of plastic deformation, tribologic wear, fracture and changes of the polyethylene structure. All these occurrences are connected with reaction of bone tissue to stress and polyethylene debris.

Bioplastics

Bioplastics derived from microbial processes present a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Among these, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), particularly polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs), have emerged as prominent candidates due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. These polymers are synthesized by a variety of bacteria, such as Cupriavidus necator and Pseudomonas putida, which naturally accumulate PHAs as intracellular carbon and energy reserves, especially under...
