Modulare Hüftprothesen können individuell der Anatomie des Patienten angepasst werden und haben dadurch eine positive Auswirkung auf dessen Lebensqualität. Unter Betriebsbelastung sind in der zusätzlichen Konusverbindung zwischen Schaft und Kopfteil Relativbewegungen möglich. Selbst an Titan-Bauteilen bewirken diese durch Verletzung der Passivschicht Reibkorrosion und infolgedessen Spaltkorrosion. Verunreinigungen wie z.B. Knochenrückstände in der Konusverbindung bewirken eine erhöhte Relativbewegung und führen zusätzlich zu einer örtlichen Spannungsüberhöhung durch lokale Pressung. Die an der Mantelfläche des Schafts entstehenden Korrosionsdefekte reduzieren die Schwingfestigkeit des Schafts erheblich, so dass dort Schwingrisse initiiert werden können, welche dann durch die üblichen zyklischen Schwell-Biegebelastungen bis zum Restgewaltbruch wachsen.
Modular hip prostheses are attractive for fitting the prosthesis to the individual anatomical conditions with a positive impact on the patient's quality of life. Especially for revision when the stem may remain, modular prosthesis are established in surgery. The additional taper interface between the stem and the neck bears the risk of micromotion, resulting in continuous damage of the passivation layer and subsequent fretting corrosion. In the present failure case bone particles in the taper connection between the stem and neck were detected using Raman spectroscopy. These particles caused high local stress on the taper surface, followed by fretting and fatigue cracking of the stem.
Commercial grade-1 titanium samples (Ti, 99.6%) were treated using three alternative methods, (i) femtosecond laser processing, (ii) thermal heat treatment, and (iii) electrochemical anodization, respectively, resulting in the formation of differently conditioned superficial titanium oxide layers. The laser processing (i) was carried out by a Ti:sapphire laser (pulse duration 30 fs, central wavelength 790 nm, pulse repetition rate 1 kHz) in a regime of generating laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). The experimental conditions (laser fluence, spatial spot overlap) were optimized in a sample-scanning setup for the processing of several square-millimeters large surface areas covered homogeneously by these nanostructures. The differently oxidized titanium surfaces were characterized by optical microscopy, micro Raman spectroscopy, variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry, and instrumented indentation testing. The tribological performance was characterized in the regime of mixed friction by reciprocating sliding tests against a sphere of hardened steel in fully formulated engine oil as lubricant. The specific tribological performance of the differently treated surfaces is discussed with respect to possible physical and chemical mechanisms.
