Journal ArticleDOI
Do Ceramic Femoral Heads Reduce Taper Fretting Corrosion in Hip Arthroplasty? A Retrieval Study
Steven M. Kurtz,Steven M. Kurtz,Sevi B. Kocagoz,Josa A. Hanzlik,Richard Underwood,Jeremy L. Gilbert,Daniel W. MacDonald,Gwo Chin Lee,Michael A. Mont,Matthew J. Kraay,Gregg R. Klein,Javad Parvizi,Clare M. Rimnac +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied modular head-neck taper corrosion with femoral heads and showed that femoral head taper can be improved by using ceramic femal heads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is increased modularity associated with increased fretting and corrosion damage in metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty devices? A retrieval study
Genymphas B. Higgs,Josa A. Hanzlik,Daniel W. MacDonald,Jeremy L. Gilbert,Clare M. Rimnac,Steven M. Kurtz,Steven M. Kurtz +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that fretting and corrosion damage occurs at a variety of modular component interfaces in contemporary MOM THAs is supported and it is found that modularity of the femoral stem was associated with increased damage at the head.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of retrieved highly cross-linked crossfire liners after short-term implantation.
Steven M. Kurtz,Steven M. Kurtz,William J. Hozack,Joseph Turner,James J. Purtill,Daniel W. MacDonald,Peter F. Sharkey,Javad Parvizi,Michael T. Manley,Richard H. Rothman +9 more
TL;DR: Analysis of retrieved, annealed cross-linked liners of the same Omnifit design indicated that there was no association between implantation time and either mechanical properties or extent of oxidation for the inserts near the worn bearing surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ceramic Heads Decrease Metal Release Caused by Head-taper Fretting and Corrosion
Sevi B. Kocagoz,Richard Underwood,Richard Underwood,Daniel W. MacDonald,Jeremy L. Gilbert,Steven M. Kurtz,Steven M. Kurtz +6 more
TL;DR: A quantitative method was developed to estimate volumetric material loss from the head and stem taper in previously matched cohorts of 50 ceramic and 50 CoCr head-stem pairs retrieved during revision surgery for causes not related to adverse reactions to metal particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gamma Inert Sterilization: A Solution to Polyethylene Oxidation?
Francisco J. Medel,Steven M. Kurtz,William J. Hozack,Javad Parvizi,James J. Purtill,Peter F. Sharkey,Daniel W. MacDonald,Matthew J. Kraay,Victor M. Goldberg,Clare M. Rimnac +9 more
TL;DR: Lower oxidation and oxidation potential is found in the conventional acetabular liners and tibial inserts that had been gamma sterilized in inert gas as compared with the historical components that had be gamma sterilization in air.
