Influence of hip joint simulator design and mechanics on the wear and creep of metal-on-polyethylene bearings

Hip joint simulators are used extensively for preclinical testing of hip replacements. The variation in simulator design and test conditions used worldwide can affect the tribological performance of polyethylene. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of simulator mechanics and design on th...
