| Research Abstract |
Hip replacement arthroplasties have been increasing in number as the number of patients with coxarthrosis is increasing. Prosthetic hip joints of the surface replacement type with metal-metal contact are considered to be an effective choice for bone preservation. It is however shown that the metal-metal contact type prosthetic hip joint could be toxic to human cells when the abrasion powder of the Co-Cr alloy, a component of the joint, is ionized. In the present study we examined ceramic-coated metal pieces of the Co-Cr alloy. Using the Pin-On-Disk abrasion test method, we investigated their abrasion resistance and the elution of the metal ions into a pseudo body fluid. As a result, the metal pieces with DLC coating showed the best performances in terms of the frictional coefficient, the abrasion resistance and the elution property of the ions.
