Practical considerations for volumetric wear analysis of explanted hip arthroplasties

[摘要] ObjectivesWear debris released from bearing surfaces has been shown to provoke negative immune responses in the recipient. Excessive wear has been linked to early failure of prostheses. Analysis using coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) can provide estim
