Abstract
The lubrication deficiency in joints is a major cause of osteoarthritis. One of the most commonly used treatment means is to inject artificial lubricants, but there is a potential risk of infection during the injection process. Therefore, developing artificial lubricants with dual functions of friction-reduction and antibacterial is urgent. In this work, a novel polysaccharide-derived lubricant with simultaneous anti-bacteria and water-lubrication properties, called CS-MPC-N, is developed by grafting 2‑methacryloyloxylethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and nisin peptide onto backbone of chitosan (CS). Compared to the control CS, CS-MPC-N exhibits good lubrication and friction-reduction properties because of its excellent water solubility. Especially, CS-MPC-N shows low friction coefficient (0.03 ∼ 0.05) at the sliding interfaces of artificial joints materials or even natural articular cartilages. Moreover, CS-MPC-N can effectively inhibit the proliferation of Staphylococcus aureu, exhibiting excellent antibacterial effect. This kind of novel polysaccharide-derived lubricant is expected to be used in treating infectious arthritis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease and its progression and pathogenesis are highly associated with the significant increase of joint friction and overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in inflammation. Combination of ROS elimination and lubrication enhancement may provide a novel strategy for the treatment of OA. In the present study, a pure biomaterial and nondrug system P(DMA-co-MPC), synthesized via free radical copolymerization, was designed and developed for the first time using 2-methacryloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) as a bioinspired lubricant and N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)methacrylamide (DMA) as an ROS scavenger. Our results showed that the P(DMA-co-MPC) aggregates could efficiently eliminate the ROS radicals and provide good lubrication property by adjusting the molar ratio of DMA and MPC in the copolymer. It is attributed to the antioxidant function of the hydroquinone moiety in DMA and the hydration lubrication effect of the zwitterionic phosphocholine group in MPC. Furthermore, the in vitro experiments demonstrated that the P(DMA-co-MPC) showed good biocompatibility with MC3T3-E1 cells and intracellular anti-inflammatory property by inhibiting the production of ROS and regulating the expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, pain-related gene, anabolic genes, and catabolic genes. In conclusion, the drug-free P(DMA-co-MPC) aggregates developed herein can achieve dual functions of lubrication enhancement and anti-inflammatory effect and thus they may be representative as promising candidates for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis, which is characterized by irreversible destruction of articular cartilage and severe inflammation of joint capsule, may be effectively treated via the synergistic therapy of lubrication restoration and local drug intervention. In this study, zwitterionic polymer-grafted mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs@pSBMA) with the property of enhanced lubrication and sustained drug release were successfully synthesized via photopolymerization of 3-[dimethyl-[2-(2-methylprop-2-enoyloxy) ethyl] azaniumyl] propane-1-sulfonate polymer (pSBMA) on the surface of MSNs. The tribiological test showed that the lubrication performance of MSNs@pSBMA was remarkably improved, with a reduction of 80% in friction coefficient compared with MSNs. It was attributed to hydration lubrication mechanism by which a tenacious hydration layer was formed surrounding the N+(CH2)2(CH3)2 and SO3- headgroups in the pSBMA polyelectrolyte polymer. Additionally, the surface morphology analysis of the tribopairs demonstrated that MSNs@pSBMA were endowed with excellent anti-wear performance. Importantly, the drug release test illustrated that, compared with MSNs, MSNs@pSBMA achieved good sustained drug release behavior. In summary, the MSNs@pSBMA nanoparticles developed herein, as an injectable lubricant with enhanced lubrication and drug delivery, may represent a promising approach for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
The superlubrication of natural joint has been attributed to hydration lubrication of articular cartilage. Here, inspired by the structure of phosphatidylcholine lipid (a typical cartilage matrix) with the presence of zwitterionic charges, we developed superlubricated nanospheres, namely poly (2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine)-grafted mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs-NH2@PMPC), via photopolymerization. The biomimetic nanospheres could enhance lubrication due to the formation of a tenacious hydration layer surrounding the zwitterionic charges of polymer brushes (PMPC), and achieve local delivery of an anti-inflammatory drug employing the nanocarriers (MSNs). The tribological and drug release tests showed improved lubrication and sustained drug release of the nanospheres. Additionally, the in vitro and in vivo tests revealed that the superlubricated drug-loaded nanospheres inhibited the development of osteoarthritis by up-regulating cartilage anabolic components and down-regulating catabolic proteases and pain-related gene. The nanospheres, with an integrated feature of both enhanced lubrication and sustained drug delivery, can be an efficient intra-articular nanomedicine for the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Wear-induced aseptic loosening has been accepted as one of the main reasons for failure of total hip arthroplasty. Ceramic wear debris is generated following prosthesis implantation and plays an important part in the upregulation of inflammatory factors in total hip arthroplasty. The present study investigates the influence of ceramic debris on osteoblasts and inflammatory factors. METHODS Ceramic debris was prepared by mechanical grinding of an aluminum femoral head and added to cultures of MC3T3-E subclone 14 cells at different concentrations (i.e. 0, 5, 10, and 15 μg/mL). Cell proliferation was evaluated using a Cell Counting Kit (CCK-8), and cell differentiation was assessed by mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN). In addition, cell bio-mineralization was evaluated through alizarin red S staining, and release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was measured through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Furthermore, mRNA expression of Smad1, Smad4, and Smad5 and protein expression of phosphorylated Smad1, Smad4, and Smad5 were measured by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting. RESULTS The ceramic debris had irregular shapes and sizes, and analysis of the size distribution using a particle size analyzer indicated that approximately 90% of the ceramic debris was smaller than 3.2 μm (2.0 ± 0.4 μm), which is considered clinically relevant. The results for mRNA expression of ALP, OCN, and OPN and alizarin red S staining indicated that cell differentiation and bio-mineralization were significantly inhibited by the presence of ceramic debris at all tested concentrations (P < 0.05, and the values decreased gradually with the increase of ceramic debris concentration), but the results of the CCK-8 assay showed that cell proliferation was not significantly affected (P > 0.05; there was no significant difference between the groups at 1, 3, and 5 days). In addition, the results of ELISA, RT-PCR, and western blotting demonstrated that ceramic debris significantly promoted the release of inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, IL-β, and IL-6 (P < 0.05, and the values increased gradually with the increase of ceramic debris concentration), and also greatly reduced the mRNA expression of Smad1, Smad4, and Smad5 (the values decreased gradually with the increase of ceramic debris concentration) as well as protein expression of phosphorylated Smad1, Smad4, and Smad5. CONCLUSION Ceramic debris may affect differentiation and bio-mineralization of MC3T3-E subclone 14 cells through the bone morphogenetic protein/Smad signaling pathway.

Abstract
The addition of nanoparticles to water-based lubricants is a commonly used method to improve lubrication, but to the best of our knowledge few studies have been reported to investigate the lubrication property of surface-modified nanodiamonds (ND) with polyzwitterionic brushes. In this study, a bioinspired copolymer containing dopamine and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) was synthesized (DMA-MPC) and then spontaneously grafted onto the ND surface (ND-MPC) through simple stirring in order to enhance lubrication. The characterization of transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the DMA-MPC was successfully modified on the ND surface. Furthermore, a series of tribological experiment were performed on a universal materials tester using glycerol, glycerol + ND, and glycerol + ND-MPC as the lubricants. It was found that the addition of ND to the lubricant (i.e., glycerol + ND and glycerol + ND-MPC) significantly reduced wear with a smaller wear scar and wear track on the tribopairs, and the coefficient of friction further decreased by about 40% when using glycerol + ND-MPC as the lubricant, which could be attributed to the hydration lubrication of the polyzwitterionic brushes modified on the ND surface and the rolling effect of nanoparticles. In conclusion, in this study a universal and versatile surface modification method was proposed on the basis of the synthesis of bioinspired copolymer DMA-MPC, which remarkably enhanced the lubrication property of ND nanoparticles when added to water-based lubricants.

Abstract
An active navigation of self-propelled miniaturized robot along the intestinal tract without injuring the soft tissue remains a challenge as yet. Particularly in this case an effective control of the interfacial friction and adhesion between the material used and the soft tissue is crucial. In the present study, we investigated the frictional and adhesive properties between polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, microscopically patterned with micro-pillar arrays and non-patterned with a flat surface) and rabbit small intestinal tract using a universal material tester. The friction coefficient-time plot and adhesive force-time plot were recorded during the friction test (sliding speed: 0.25mm/s; normal loading: 0.4N) and adhesion test (preloading: 0.5N; hoisting speed: 2.5×10-3mm/s). In addition, biocompatibility of the PDMS samples was characterized in terms of cell morphology (scanning electron microscope) and cell cytotoxicity (alamarBlue assay) using human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). The results demonstrated that the interfacial friction (0.27 vs 0.19) and adhesion (34.9mN vs 26.7mN) were greatly increased using microscopically patterned PDMS, in comparison with non-patterned PDMS. HUVECs adhered to and proliferated on non-patterned/microscopically patterned PDMS very well, with a relative cell viability of about 90% following seeding at 1d, 3d, and 5d. The favorable enhancement of the frictional and adhesive properties, along with the excellent biocompatibility of the microscopically patterned PDMS, makes it a propitious choice for clinical application of self-propelled miniaturized robots.

Abstract
For successful tissue engineering of articular cartilage, a scaffold with mechanical properties that match those of natural cartilage as closely as possible is needed. In the present study, we prepared a fibrous silk fibroin (SF)/poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) scaffold via electrospinning and investigated the morphological, mechanical, and degradation properties of the scaffolds fabricated using different electrospinning conditions, including collection distance, working voltage, and the SF:PLLA mass ratio. In addition, in vitro cell-scaffold interactions were evaluated in terms of chondrocyte adhesion to the scaffolds as well as the cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility of the scaffolds. The optimum electrospinning conditions for generating a fibrous SF/PLLA scaffold with the best surface morphology (ordered alignment and suitable diameter) and tensile strength (~1.5 MPa) were a collection distance of 20 cm, a working voltage of 15 kV, and a SF:PLLA mass ratio of S50P50. The degradation rate of the SF/PLLA scaffolds was found to be determined by the SF:PLLA mass ratio, and it could be increased by reducing the PLLA proportion. Furthermore, chondrocytes spread well on the fibrous SF/PLLA scaffolds and secreted extracellular matrix, indicating good adhesion to the scaffold. The cytotoxicity of SF/PLLA scaffold extract to chondrocytes over 24 and 48 h in culture was low, indicating that the SF/PLLA scaffolds are biocompatible. Chondrocytes grew well on the SF/PLLA scaffold after 1, 3, 5, and 7 days of direct contact, indicating the good cytocompatibility of the scaffold. These results demonstrate that the fibrous SF/PLLA scaffold represents a promising composite material for use in cartilage tissue engineering.

Under tribological contact, the subsurface microstructure of CoCrMo alloys for artificial joint implants can be changed and affect the life and safety of such devices. As one of the most important and abundant components in the synovial fluid, proteins play a key role in affecting the bio-tribocorrosion behaviors of metal implants. The effect of proteins on the subsurface microstructure evolution of a CoCrMo alloy was investigated using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) in this study. The result shows that proteins have two main effects on the subsurface's evolution: forming a multilayered structure and causing severer subsurface deformation. The tribo-film can protect the passive film from scrapping, and then the passive film can reduce or even suppress the stacking fault annihilation by blocking the access to the metal surface. It leads to the stacking fault being diffused towards the deeper area and a strain accumulation in the subsurface, before inducing a severer deformation. On the other hand, the effect of proteins results in the location changing from the top surface to be underneath the top surface, where the maximum frictional shear stress occurs. This can cause a deeper deformation.

Abstract
Nanofibrous materials produced by electrospinning have attracted considerable attention from researchers in regenerative medicine. A combination of nanofibrous scaffold and chondrocytes is considered promising for repair of cartilage defect or damage. In the present study, we fabricated a poly(l-lactic-acid) (PLLA)/silk fibroin (SF) nanofibrous scaffold by electrospinning and evaluated its chondrogenic potential. The PLLA/SF nanofibers were characterized for diameter, surface wettability, swelling ratio, and tensile strength. Throughin vitroexperiments, PLLA/SF scaffold-chondrocyte interactions were investigated relative to the unmodified PLLA scaffold with regard to cellular adhesion, spreading, and proliferation by scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy, and through analyses of DNA, sulfated glycosaminoglycan, and collagen. In addition, hematoxylin-eosin and Alcian blue-nuclear fast red staining were used to observe growth of chondrocytes, and secretion and distribution of cartilage-specific extracellular matrices in the scaffolds. Expressions of cartilage-related genes (collagen II, aggrecan, sox9, collagen I, and collagen X) were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The PLLA/SF scaffold had better hydrophilicity, and could support chondrocytes adhesion and spreading more effectively than the unmodified PLLA scaffold. Chondrocytes secreted more cartilage-specific extracellular matrices and maintained their phenotype on the PLLA/SF scaffold. So it is concluded that the PLLA/SF scaffold is more conducive toin vitroformation of cartilage-like new tissues than the unmodified PLLA scaffold, and may be a promising material in cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
A bone defect resulting from open bone trauma may easily become infected; however, the administration of efficacious systemic antibiotics cannot be performed at safe levels. Previous studies have investigated anti-infective biomaterials that incorporate into bone and facilitate the direct application of high-concentration local antibiotics. In the present study, the effect of a novel porous composite with gentamicin sulfate (GS) in treating infected femoral condyle defects was investigated using a rat model. A novel porous composite biomaterial was prepared based on a supercritical carbon dioxide fluid technique that combined GS, demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and polylactic acid (PLA). A rat femoral condyle fracture model of infection was established. The GS/DBM/PLA composite biomaterial was implanted and its physicochemical characteristics, biocompatibility and ability to facilitate repair of infected bone defect were assessed. The GS/DBM/PLA composite biomaterial maintained the antibiotic activity of GS, with good anti-compression strength, porosity and biocompatibility. The results of the animal experiments indicated that the GS/DBM/PLA composite biomaterial exerted marked anti-infective effects and facilitated bone defect repair, while simultaneously controlling infection. Porous GS/DBM/PLA is therefore a promising composite biomaterial for use in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Proteins can adsorb on the surface of artificial joints immediately after being implanted. Although research studying protein adsorption on medical material surfaces has been carried out, the mechanism of the proteins’ adsorption which affects the corrosion behaviour of such materials still lacks in situ observation at the micro level. The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on CoCrMo alloy surfaces was studied in situ by AFM and SKPFM as a function of pH and the charge of CoCrMo alloy surfaces. Results showed that when the specimens were uncharged, hydrophobic interaction could govern the process of the adsorption rather than electrostatic interaction, and BSA molecules tended to adsorb on the surfaces forming a monolayer in the side-on model. Results also showed that adsorbed BSA molecules could promote the corrosion process for CoCrMo alloys. When the surface was positively charged, the electrostatic interaction played a leading role in the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption occurred at the isoelectric point (pH 4.7) of BSA.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering has become a promising method for the repair of bone defects, and the production of a scaffold with high cell affinity and osseointegrative properties is crucial for successful bone substitute. Chitosan (CS)/hydroxyapatite (HA) composite was prepared by in situ compositing combined with lyophilization, and further modified by arginine‑glycine‑aspartic acid (RGD) via physical adsorption. In order to evaluate the cell adhesion rate, viability, morphology, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, the RGD‑CS/HA scaffold was seeded with bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). The osseointegrative properties of the RGD‑CS/HA scaffold were evaluated by in vivo heterotopic ossification and in vivo bone defect repair. After 4 h culture with the RGD‑CS/HA scaffold, the adhesion rate of the BMSCs was 80.7%. After 3 days, BMSCs were fusiform in shape and evenly distributed on the RGD‑CS/HA scaffold. Formation of extracellular matrix and numerous cell‑cell interactions were observed after 48 h of culture, with an ALP content of 0.006 ± 0.0008 U/l/ng. Furthermore, the osseointegrative ability and biomechanical properties of the RGD‑CS/HA scaffold were comparable to that of normal bone tissue. The biocompatibility, cytocompatibility, histocompatibility and osseointegrative properties of the RGD‑CS/HA scaffold support its use in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the effect of single-stage internal traction combined with early postoperative active rehabilitation and the yurt bone suture method, a new surgical technique, on the clinical outcomes after surgical repair of Achilles tendon. A total of 51 patients with neglected Achilles tendon rupture who underwent the yurt bone suture treatment also participated in an accelerated postoperative rehabilitation program. The clinical outcome was evaluated for 18 weeks using the Leppilahti scoring system, bilateral ultrasound examination, and computed tomography examination. The ultrasound and computed tomography examinations revealed that Achilles tendon elongation and adhesion occurred in none of the patients. All the patients could perform the single leg heel raise exercise for a mean of 30 ± 7.6 seconds at 12 weeks postoperatively. In addition, the patients could participate in sport exercises and heavy physical activities by around 13 weeks postoperatively. The mean Leppilahti score was 85.8 ± 3.7 at 8 weeks postoperatively, and it had increased to 96.1 ± 3.2 and 100.0 ± 0.0 at 12 and 18 weeks, respectively, after the operation. The 1-stage internal traction technique, combined with early postoperative active rehabilitation and the yurt bone surgical technique, resulted in good clinical outcomes for the treatment of neglected Achilles tendon rupture.

Abstract
Complicated tribochemical reactions with the surrounding media often occur at the prosthesis material, which is a dominant factor causing the premature failure in revision surgery. Graphite-like carbon (GLC) film has been proven to be an excellent tribological adaption to water-based media, and this work focused on the friction and wear behavior of Mo-doped GLC (Mo-GLC)-coated poly(aryl ether ether ketone) sliding against Al2O3 counterpart in physiological saline, simulated body fluid, and fetal bovine serum (FBS), which mainly emphasized the interface interactions of the prosthetic materials/lubricant. Results showed different tribological responses of Mo-GLC/Al2O3 pairs strongly correlated with the interfacial reactions of the contacting area. Particularly, a transfer layer was believed to be responsible for the excellent wear reduction of Mo-GLC/Al2O3 pair in FBS medium, in which graphitic carbon and protein species were contained. The wear mechanisms are tentatively discussed according to the morphologies and chemical compositions of the worn surfaces examined by scanning electron microscope as well as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Abstract
Porous tantalum has been reported to be a promising material for use in bone tissue engineering. In the present study, the biocompatibility and osteogenic properties of porous tantalum were studied in vitro and in vivo. The morphology of porous tantalum was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Osteoblasts were cultured with porous tantalum, and cell morphology, adhesion and proliferation were investigated using optical microscopy and SEM. In addition, porous tantalum rods were implanted in rabbits, and osteogenesis was observed using laser scanning confocal microscopy and hard tissue slice examination. The osteoblasts were observed to proliferate over time and adhere to the tantalum surface and pore walls, exhibiting a variety of shapes and intercellular connections. The porous tantalum rod connected tightly with the host bone. At weeks 2 and 4 following implantation, new bone and small blood vessels were observed at the tantalum-host bone interface and pores. At week 10 after the porous tantalum implantation, new bone tissue was observed at the tantalum-host bone interface and pores. By week 12, the tantalum-host bone interface and pores were covered with new bone tissue and the bone trabeculae had matured and connected directly with the materials. Therefore, the results of the present study indicate that porous tantalum is non-toxic, biocompatible and a promising material for use in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) is a type of hydrophilic polymer that can be used in surface modifications. In our study, PVPA coatings were formed on the surfaces of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) using a simple and novel method to achieve efficient lubrication at friction interfaces. The composition and 3D skeletal structure of the PVPA coatings were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM), and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The PVPA-modified Ti6Al4V/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) interface shows a superlow friction coefficient (approximately 0.006) for at least 8 h under a contact pressure of 44.2 MPa (initial pressure), which means it falls into the superlubricity regime. Moreover, wear on the surfaces of both the Ti6Al4V and PTFE after the tribological experiment is superlow. It is proposed that the 3D skeletal structure of the PVPA coating and fluid-like manner at friction interfaces owing to the fast exchange of water molecules are the main factors accounting for the superlow friction and wear. The PVPA-modified Ti6Al4V has the potential uses in artificial cervical discs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical implants are widely used in the medical field but their long-term performance is limited due to failure of integration with tissues. This manuscript describes very well-known problems associated with implants and discusses novel solutions used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine that can be implemented in this uncommonly discussed medical area. SOURCES OF DATA General and medical literature describing modifications of medical and surgical implants, biofunctionalization, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. AREAS OF AGREEMENT Procedures for surgical implantation have grown substantially in the last few decades and provided improved quality of life for patients, regardless of area of implantation and device type and purpose. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY In general, implants fail because of lack of long-term integration with the surrounding tissues. Implant manufacturers have not addressed implant failure from the point of view of biointegration. In addition, some medical practitioners are inclined to treat implant failure by using anti-infection methods to prevent bacterial adhesion. However, both approaches are conceptually limited, as discussed in this manuscript. GROWING POINTS Implantation in the future will not be limited to medically needed procedures but also to a growing number of cosmetic body transformation procedures, which may include perceived 'improved implant functions' over natural tissues or organs. An additional trend is that implant procedures are being progressively performed in younger individuals. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH Current implants generally do not allow the physician to have controlled long-term access to internal tissues in contact with the implants, for example to release specific compounds when medically needed to the problem area.

Characterisation of the surface topography, tomography and chemistry of fretting corrosion product found on retrieved polished femoral stems. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2013; 32:321-334. [PMID: 24387879 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2013.11.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2013] [Revised: 11/14/2013] [Accepted: 11/21/2013] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
This study presents the characterisation of the surface topography, tomography and chemistry of fretting corrosion product found on retrieved polished femoral stems. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FI-IR) were utilised in order to assess the surface morphology of retrieved Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Replacements and surface chemistry of the films found on the surface. Gross slip, plastic deformation and directionality of the surface were extensively seen on the proximal surfaces of the retrievals. A more corrosive phenomenon was observed in the distal regions of the stem, demonstrating a seemingly intergranular attack. Tribochemical reactions were seen to occur within the stem-cement interfaces with tribofilms being observed on the femoral stem and counterpart PMMA bone cement. XPS, TEM-EDX and FT-IR analyses demonstrated that the films present in the stem surfaces were a complex mixture of chromium oxide and amorphous organic material. A comparison between current experimental and clinical literature has been conducted and findings from this study demonstrate that the formation and chemistry of films are drastically influenced by the type of wear or degradation mechanism. Films formed in the stem-cement interface are thought to further influence the biological environment outside the stem-cement interface due to the formation of Cr and O rich films within the interface whilst Co is free to migrate away.
