On the Role of Surface Roughness in Ankle Joint ReplacementsBy Puneet Katyal
Abstract: AbstractResearch efforts in biomechanics have geared towards the long-term effectiveness andsurvival of total joint replacements, because of osteoarthritis causes loosening, instability,wear of articulating components and finally loss of function. Surface roughness of articulatingcomponents significantly influences their tribological behavior. Other factors affecting thewear of articulating surfaces include material and geometrical properties. In this work, thehuman ankle joint is represented by an equivalent ellipsoid-on-plane model to study the effectof surface roughness on …
