Tibal Plateau Abrasion in Mobile Bearing Knee Systems During Walking Gait II: A Finite Element Study
Presented in 2002
The abrasion observed in ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) total knee arthroplasty component retrievals is the result of high cyclical loads, which act on the tibial plateau during daily ambulation. This dynamic process influences in vivo component longevity and is dependent on the magnitude and distribution of contact stresses on the tibial plateau. Mobile bearing…
