Abstract
Metal sensitivity can be considered an emerging issue in TKA (Hallab, 2001). Wear of the polyethylene liner has been addressed with better design of the components, improvement of the material itself and improved surgical techniques (Gioe, 2004; Fehring, 2004, Tsukamoto, 2006). However, for the increasing number of young active people candidate for a variety of reasons to surgery, the issue of wear still remain of paramount importance.File in questo prodotto:
