Abstract

Trifemur after augmentation proves as a holistic wear tester both as ball-on-socket and ball-on-triplate type configuration Unaccelerated but continuous testing of implants lubricants just for few months can characterize their decades long service limited by either wear depth or wear volume This has to be tested and ascertained to rank the Trifemur as a standard comparator As if an island of stability is sighted in the sea of chaos two pilot experiments confirmed the feasibility of reaching to the practical range of linear wear depth Those experimental details and results using Trifemur are presented here
