摘要

Most of the tibial bearings for knee prostheses are made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The longevity of those bearings is less than ten years in many cases, owing to tribological failure. In total knee replacements, the polymer bearings are subjected to oscillatory rolling/sliding contact; sliding wear and contact fatigue can both be important modes of knee bearing failure under these conditions. This research applied accelerated testing techniques to assess the tribological behavior of several different UHMWPE tibial bearing materials. Accelerated aging of bearing material was done to simulate, within a few weeks, the long-term changes that previously have been documented in joint prosthesis bearings in use for 5 to 10 years or more. Cyclic wear and contact fatigue tests were carried out using two tribotesters, a knee simulator and a rolling/sliding contact tester, in order to determine the performance of unaged and aged bearing material. The relative merits of both types of model experiments were examined in this test program. Gravimetric and volumetric methods for measuring wear accurately in the tests were also evaluated. A large, established archive of joint bearings explanted from patients was used to confirm that the surface failure mechanisms observed in the laboratory were similar to clinical wear mechanisms.
