Q

What range of angles are typically available for TPO/DPO plates?

A

20 - 45 degrees

Q

What is stress shielding?

A

Occurs when implant is stiffer than bone, preventing adequate load transfer to the bone, resulting in bone resorption due to relative disuse atrophy leading to implant loosening

20

  • Iron
  • Chromium
  • Nickel
  • Molybdenum
21
Q

What metals are in cobalt alloys?

- Very hard with excellent wear and corrosion resistance

22
Q

What is the most common titanium alloy?
Which THR implant uses this?

A
  • Ti6A14V
  • Stronger, good fatigue resistance
  • More prone to wear debris than cobalt alloys

Implants
- Zurich Cementless
- Recently switched to Ti6A14Nb

23
Q

What is tantalum?

A

A metal that can be fabricated with a porosity and elastic modulus similar to those of cancellous bone

24
Q

What is tribology?

A

The study of bearing surfaces

The ideal bearing surface is low friction, low wear debris generation, biocompatible, and damage resistant

25
Q

What is the acceptable linear wear rate in people?

A

0.1mm/year

Dogs showed a significatnyl lower volumetric wear that is seen in humans however dogs had a more severe bony reaction (osteolysis) to the debris

26
Q

List the 5 main ways in which wear debris can be generated

A
  • Adhesive wear (cold welding)
  • Abrasive wear (irregularity on surface of harder material or thrid-body wear)
  • Fatique wear ( Cyclic loading causing cracks/microcracks)
  • Erosive wear (Solid particle erosion, impingement wear)
  • Corrosive wear ( galvanic corrosion - oxidation that generally results from interactions of disimilar metals)
27
Q

Under what circumstances is the greatest amount of wear debris created?

A

Titanium bearing surface with a cemented prosthesis

28
Q

List options for coating of metallic heads

  • Titanium nitride
  • Diamond-like carbon (“amorphous carbon film”)
29

40
Q

How are THR-related femoral fractures classified?

A

- Fracture with unstable prosthesis, worse prognosis B3
- C describes fractures distal to prosthesis (cemented stems)

41
Q

What is the “coffin-lid” approach for removing cement?

A
  • Creation of a bone flap starting at base of greater trochanter and extending the length of the cement mantle. Edges should be beveled and corners should be rounded
42
Q

What is the primary cause of aseptic loosening?

A

Wear-debris mediated osteolysis

43
Q

Why is the removal of periprosthetic fibrous tissue a crucial part of revision?

A

Contains mediators of bone lysis

What are the anatomical landmarks for a FHO?

A
