    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Mechanical Engineering

    Background:

    • Total joint replacement success is limited by loosening and wear of plastic components.
    • Wear debris from joint prostheses can cause adverse biological effects.
    • Improving the longevity and performance of artificial joints is a critical surgical goal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate polymeric encapsulation as a design feature for joint prostheses.
    • To assess the tribological benefits of encapsulated and artificially lubricated joint prostheses, specifically the UMIST shoulder joint.
    • To investigate the mechanical interactions of selected biopolymers and the sealing efficacy of the capsule.

    Main Methods:

    • Tribological evaluation of an encapsulated UMIST shoulder joint.
