Excessive wear has been linked to early failure of prostheses.
The optimized model has a maximum Mises stress and shear stress of 56.3 and 3.6 MPa respectively for a load of 1000 N. Failure of the prosthesis was predicted to occur at a load of 5200 N which fully satisfies the ISO standard 10328 for prosthesis.
This article will list the main reasons that cause the failure of the prosthesis.
Corrosion-wear is of major concern for Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum (CoCrMo) hip implants as it leads to premature failure of the prosthesis and treating the CoCrMo surface using low temperature carburising treatment is a plausible investigation to mitigate such problem.
Indications to surgery were: 170 (72.9%) patients with knee arthritis with varus valgus axial deviation <10°, 27 (11.6%) with rheumatoid arthritis, 16 (6.9%) with knee arthritis associated with varus valgus axial deviation >10°, 11 (4.6%) with arthritis following tibial osteotomy, eight (3.6%) with consequences of tibial plateau fractures and one (0.4%) with failure of unicompartmental prosthesis.
Mechanical failure of the prosthesis occurred in 54 cases (29.0%).
At revision, thickness was similar, without failure of the prosthesis.
