Surface Modifications for Improved Wear Performance in Artificial Joints: A Review

JOM Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Artificial joint replacement is one of the most successful treatments for arthritis. Excellent wear and corrosion resistance, together with high strength and fracture toughness, are fundamental requirements for implant materials. Wear and/or corrosion of the materials used in artificial joints may lead to implant failure. Therefore, hard and wear-resistant materials, like cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and ceramic, are currently used as bearing surfaces. However, even using such hard materials, wear and/or corrosion related failure of artificial joints remains a central concern. One primary goal in orthopedic biomaterials research is to create more wear-resistant surfaces. Different technologies have been used to create new surfaces, or to modify existing surfaces, to prevent wear. It is the intent of this overview first to provide a summary of materials currently used as bearing surfaces in artificial joints, their functions, and their contributions to device longevity. Then, we will discuss advancements in modifying those bearing surfaces to produce more wear-resistant artificial joints.

Notes

  1. Other design and improvement objectives include, but are not limited to: improved load transfer to the bone, greater component fatigue resistance, and enhanced mechanical or biological fixation for both load transfer and implant stability.
