History of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)
1891: First THA design using Ivory
adhered with glue, proposed by
Themistocles Gluck1
1925: Mold arthroplasty proposed
by Marius Smith-Peterson, usingglass as a hollow shell to be fit
over the femoral head2.
1953: First instance of metal-
on-metal THA, proposed by
George McKee4.
1970s: Sir John C
THA design, usin
stem, polyethylen
component and a
1930s: Marius Smith-Peterson and
Phillip Wiles proposed the stainless
steel hip replacement, fitted to the
bone with bolts and screws3.

Injection Molding● Metal Injection Molding (MIM)
- A specialized form
of plastic injection molding
uses metal powder
mixed with some type of binder
- Four steps:
1) Feedstock preparation
2) Injection molding
3) Removing the binder
4) Sintering

Stress Shielding● Biomechanical mismatch of Ti-6Al-4V
- Outer cortical region of dense bone:
E=16 to 20 GPa
- Inner trabecular bone:
E= an order of magnitude less than cortical
- Elastic modulus for commercial Ti-6Al-4V
is about 105 to 110 GPa

Corrosion● Corrosion - The tendency for a metal to dissolve in the presen
water, releasing metallic ions in the surrounding environmen● Dependant upon;
○ The mechanical and chemical properties of the metal.○ The environment you choose to observe.

● In biological systems, the equilibrium between metal dissolut
metal redeposition is never reached, and corrosion is allowed
because of a cyclic redox reaction between the metal dissolu
(eq. 1) and biological reduction (cathode). (eq. 2)
