Study of the Polycarbonate-Urethane/Metal Contact in Different Positions during Gait Cycle
Nowadays, a growing number of young and more active patients receive hip replacement. More strenuous activities in such patients involve higher friction and wear rates, with friction on the bearing surface being crucial to ensure arthroplasty survival in the long term. Over the last years, the polyc...
