Retrieval Analysis of Total Disc Replacements : Implications for Standardized Wear Testing /

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the wear and surface damage mechanisms of polyethylene in retrieved CHARITE total disc replacements. The retrieved implants showed evidence of adhesive/abrasive wear mechanisms in the central domed region of the implants. In addition, there was also evidence...
