Determination of friction for hip implants
Capability Description
To complement our pre-clinical wear simulation facilities we have capability to measure the friction of artificial and natural joints through a variety of methods, from simple geometrical configuration using a pin-on-plate simulator, to a pendulum friction simulator predominantly used for hip replacements, through to single station physiological anatomical hip and knee simulators. Leeds has the capability to determine the frictional torque and friction factor under standard (well positioned) and surgical mal-positioning and edge loading conditions for both natural tissues and artificial bearing materials.
