摘要

The hip joint implant once put inside the femur is expected to deliver an average life span of ~25 years. Its premature failure is highly painful to the patient as for the removal of stem cemented inside the femur; the bone at times needs to be slit for the implant removal and replacement. The visual observations of implant retrieved after failure revealed no signs of any surface wear and tear or any surface cracking even after staying inside the body for almost 10 years. The stereo microscopic examination of fractured surface revealed some serration marks apart from rough and flat regions particularly in the upper broken part of implant. Optical emission spectroscopy divulged the composition to deviate from standard SS 316L grade. The optical microstructure showed presence of almost equiaxed austenite grains. The measured hardness was 81 HRB (viz. < 1 HRC) and bend strength was 360 MPa vis-a-vis normal human bone hardness of ~20 HRC and bend strength of ~110 MPa. The implant showed no cracking even after bending at 150°. The SEM analysis revealed occurrence of many surface and sub-surface defects such as inclusions, pin hole porosities and corrosion pits. EDS mapping showed inhomogeneous distribution of chromium. The presence of fatigue failure got confirmed on revelation of features such as serration marks, cleavage and dimples. The cracks most apparently got initiated at multiple locations and progressed inside the femoral stem.
