The aim of this study was to investigate the structural integrity of torn and non-torn human acetabular labral tissue. A total of 47 human labral specimens were obtained from a biobank. These included 22 torn specimens and 25 control specimens from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty with macroscopically normal labra. The specimens underwent dynamic shear analysis using a rheometer to measure storage modulus, as an indicator of structural integrity.Objectives
Methods
Pseudotumours (abnormal peri-prosthetic soft-tissue reactions)
following metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoMHRA) have
been associated with elevated metal ion levels, suggesting that
excessive wear may occur due to edge-loading of these MoM implants.
This study aimed to quantify The duration and magnitude of edge-loading Objectives
