DEVICE FOR IN VITRO WEAR ANALYSIS OF BIOMATERIALS IN THE HINGED PROSTHESIS CONFIGURATION

We have developed a device that, coupled to the tribometer, allows movement simulation of the hinged type knee prosthesis. Two tests were performed using the samples designed and one test without the device using a pin-on-flat configuration. For the first and the third tests, the metallic samples we...
