Abstract

In aging persons Oesteo-arthritis has been shown to be particularly problematic. Oesteo-arthritis is the progressive degeneration of the natural cartilage tissue which plays a critical part in the load bearing function of hip and knee joints. Solutions to the problems caused by this tissue breakdown are administration of anti-inflammatory drugs or more normally and especially in advanced cases is the replacement of all or part of the joint with artificial joints. In the UK alone, over 25,000 hips and 22,000 knees are replaced each year at a cost of approximately 175 million per annum [1]. Worldwide, the total number of implants is around 800,000. Over many years considerable research has been conducted concerning the design and function of artificial joint systems and today the life expectancy of such systems is 5-15 years.
