Article Abstract

The survey assessed tribological properties of the materials based on ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene for joint replacement liners by several major manufacturers. Being their crucial parameter, the mass wear rates were compared. Scanning electron microscopy was used to assess the metamorphosis of the materials surface after friction. With its help, the morphology of the surfaces with wear particles was assessed. Using IR spectroscopy, oxygen-containing functional groups were identified on the friction surfaces, which were formed during tribooxidative processes. The tribological properties of the materials were compared with their thermal and structural properties.

Background: Accurate acetabular cup orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is crucial for successful outcomes. Intraoperative fluoroscopy may be used to evaluate acetabular cup placement. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of purely visual estimation of cup inclination and anteversion using intraoperative fluoroscopy, considering different surgeon experience levels and cup designs.

Bilateral Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head and Proximal Femur After Corticosteroid Injections: A Case Report.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev

September 2025

From the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, Scottsdale, AZ (Ms. Hiredesai and Mr. Holle), and the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ (Dr. Van Schuyver, Dr. Deckey, Dr. Probst, and Dr. Spangehl).

Atraumatic bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a rare phenomenon whose etiology is not fully understood. In this report, we describe the case of a 75-year-old female patient who developed rapidly onset bilateral ONFH after intra-articular corticosteroid injections. She was treated with staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty.

Soft-Tissue Sources of Extra-articular Pain Following Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Comprehensive Review.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev

September 2025

From the American Hip Institute Research Foundation (Dr. Quesada-Jimenez, Dr. Kahana-Rojkind, and Dr. Domb), and the American Hip Institute, Chicago, IL (Dr. Domb).

Hip pain after a total hip arthroplasty is a prevalent condition. Once aseptic loosening and infection have been ruled out, the possible entities are vast. Accurate diagnosis in this patient population is challenging because they might present in different stages of their recovery process and the potential overlap of some conditions.
