Hot issues related to modern hip prosthetic materials / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Artificial prosthetic material is one of the important factors determining the effect of artificial hip replacement.There are mainly three types of interfaces in the prosthetic materials: the fixed in-terface,the friction interface,and the interface between the modular prostheses.Porous metals improve the osseointegration of the bio-logical fixed interface.High crosslinking polyethylene and composite ceramics significantly reduce the wear of the friction interface.The modular prostheses of ceramic ball head can reduce the wear particles and corrosion.However,the prosthesis loosening,wear and metal corrosion are still the most important factors affecting the medium-long term effects of artificial hip replacement.This article reviews the research progress of artificial hip prosthesis materials from the perspective of the three prosthetic interfaces.
