    The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume
    |March 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Surface replacement hip implants generate higher frictional torque than conventional ones, impacting joint mechanics. This difference is crucial for selecting the appropriate arthroplasty for patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic biomechanics
    • Biomaterials science
    • Medical device engineering

    Background:

    • Total hip replacement (THR) and surface replacement (SR) are common orthopedic procedures.
    • Understanding the biomechanical performance of different hip implant designs is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Frictional torque at the implant-bone interface can influence joint mechanics and implant longevity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure and compare the frictional torque of a specific total hip replacement (Trapezoidal-28) and two surface replacements (Tharies SR-3, SR-5).
    • To investigate the relationship between implant dimensions and frictional torque.
    • To assess the mechanical integrity of acetabular shells after implantation.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) hip-joint simulator.
    • Tested components in calf serum under physiological loads (up to 890 N) and simulated motion (60-degree arc, 40 cycles/min).
    • Measured frictional torque using a ring transducer and assessed acetabular shell deformation.

    Main Results:

    • Frictional torque decreased with increased polyethylene thickness and was proportional to femoral component diameter.
    • Measured torques were significantly lower (20-100 times) than reported static failure torques for acetabular fixation.
    • No permanent deformation of acetabular shells was observed with the recommended surgical technique.

    Conclusions:

    • Surface replacement components generate higher frictional torques at the acetabular bone-cement interface compared to smaller-diameter conventional hip replacements.
    • This difference suggests distinct local mechanical-loading conditions between THR and SR, influencing joint mechanics.
    • Consideration of these biomechanical differences is important when selecting the type of arthroplasty for individual patients.
