    Notes: [Auszug] Christensen1 examined theoretically the problem of an elastohydrodynamic film between approaching cylinders, in some earlier work in this department. He predicted that the fluid film pressures could reach very high values, often in excess of the Hertzian maximum pressure of dry contact, and that ...

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Bio-Ingenieur-Gruppe für das Studium von menschlichen Gelenken an der Universität Leeds hat angedeutet, daß Osteoarthrosis in leicht angegriffenen lasttragenden Gelenken mit künstlichen Schmiermitteln erleichtert werden könnte. Wenn das künstliche Schmiermittel erfolgreich die Schmierfunktion übernehmen soll, die die normale Synovialflüssigkeit erfüllt, dann sollte es ähnliche Theologische Eigenschaften aufweisen. In dieser Veröffentlichung werden die Ergebnisse einer Studie über die Theologischen Eigenschaften einiger potentieller künstlicher Schmiermittel aufgezeichnet. Einige Polymerlösungen zeigen insgesamt ein rheologisches Verhalten, das der Synovialflüssigkeit sehr ähnlich ist; der Einfluß der Konzentration, der Schubbelastung und der Arbeitsmechanik auf dieses Verhalten wird beobachtet werden. Die Viskosität der Polymerlösung wird unter verschiedenen Bedingungen mit einemFerranti-Shirley-Viskosimeter (Konus auf Platte)gemessen. Das Schmiermittel wurde auch in einem besonderen Hüftgelenk-Simulator getestet, der für Belastungen und Geschwindigkeiten, ähnlich der einer natürlichen Gehbewegung, programmiert war. Es wird gezeigt, daß die Viskosität abnimmt und daraufhin sich teilweise wieder erholt.
    Notes: Conclusion The effect of mechanical working on polyethylene oxide suggests that, although this substance fulfils many of the criteria for an artificial lubricant in human joints, it is unlikely to be successful in vivo over a prolonged period. This is probably due to the weak linkages present. The simplicity of the structure might have led one to think that it would withstand mechanical degradation more satisfactorily than a more complex molecule, but the experiments demonstrate that this is not so. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, on the other hand, shows a high degree of resistance to mechanical degradation and a successful artificial lubricant is likely to be closer to this configuration in which bonds are less exposed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Steifheit ist ein Problem, das dem Kliniker bekannt ist. Steifheit am Morgen ist ein Hauptgesichtspunkt für die Diagnose von rheumatischer Arthritis und ist ein äußerst wichtiges Merkmal für die Diagnose von Wirbelsäulenversteifungs (“pocker back”). Diese ist ein wichtiges Merkmal in Fällen von Patienten mit Osteoarthrosis, die unter Gelenkschwellung leiden, und die Gelenke daher nach einer Ruheperiode viel steifer sind. Therapeutisch hat sie Bedeutung für das Symptomenbild des Patienten und sie ist ein Maßstab für die Wirksamkeit der Behandlung von rheumatischer Arthritis. Arthrographen wurden angefertigt, um die Steifheit des Metacarpophalangealgelenks des Fingers und des Kniegelenkes zu messen. Tierexperimente haben gezeigt, daß 50% der Gelenksteifheit von passiver Muskelstrek-kung und 50% von Geweben im Gelenk selbst und außerhalb herrühren. Reflexbedingte Muskelaktivität spielt keine Rolle, mit Ausnahme von Fällen mit neuro-muskulären Erkrankungen wieParkinsonismus und Myotonia Congenita. Um ein charakteristisches Spannungs-Dehnungsdiagramm zu erhalten, wird das Gelenk in eine sinusartige Bewegung gebracht. Untersuchungen der Spannungsrelaxation haben einige Hinweise auf die Komponenten der physischen Steifheit gegeben. Zunehmende Steifheit ist physiologisch altersbedingt. Eine Temperaturerhöhung auf 45 °C vermindert die Steifheit um etwa 25%, und eine Temperaturerniedrigung erhöht, im Gegensatz dazu, die Steifheit um etwa denselben Betrag. Erhöhte Steifheit ist pathologisch in Fällen mit rheumatischer Arthritis, Systemsklerose und Osteoarthrose. Das Auftreten von Gelenkschwellungen bei Osteoarthrose ist, wie die Analyse von Überlagerungsdiagrammen andeutet, mehr eine Erscheinung, die von Veränderungen der umhüllenden Gewebe herrührt, als von Veränderungen zwischen den Gelenkflächen. Mit diesem Gerät wurden einige künstliche Schmiermittel geprüft.
    Notes: Summary Stiffness is an important subjective phenomenon diagnostically and therapeutically in rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthrosis. A quantitative and qualitative assessment of these phenomena have been made by arthrographs which impose a sinusoidal motion on the metacarpo-phalangeal and knee joints respectively and record the torque in relation to the displacement. The reproducibility with the joint in situ and moved is satisfactory. A hysteresis torque/ displacement plot is obtained with both joints. Reflex muscle activity may be measured at the joint, as in myotonia congenita and Parkinsonism. In patients without neuromuscular disorders electromyographic studies have shown that the muscles are electrically silent during sinusoidal motion and that active contraction distorts the tracing. The latter fact may be useful in the evaluation of patients with psychological factors producing muscle tension, which may be decreased with diazepam. Using the cat's wrist joint it has been shown that the passive stretching of muscles accounts for 41 per cent of the stiffness recorded at the joint and the capsule 47 per cent, a finding in keeping with work on the distal interphalangeal joint of the human finger. Stiffness increases with advancing age and decreased temperature. Conversely, warming the joint reduces its stiffness. Articular gelling in patients with osteoarthrosis may be demonstrated after periods of rest and the results suggest that such changes are due to alterations in the periarticular and muscle tissues. The rapid diminution in torque after rest in one position was not detected in normal joints even after longer periods of immobilisation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Gelenksteifheit wird durch exakte physikalische Größen definiert. Es werden Methoden beschrieben, mit denen die Gelenksteifheit objektiv, qualitativ und quantitativ gemessen werden kann. Es wird eine Apparatur vorgestellt, die Messungen am Knie- und dem zweiten Metacarpophalangeal-Gelenk gestattet. Den Hauptanteil an der Gesamtsteifheit während einer Schwingung stellt die elastische Steifigkeit. Die plastische Steifigkeit erreichte Werte bis zu 40% der Gesamtsteifigkeit bei der Maximalamplitude. Bei kleinen Amplituden war dieCoulombsche Reibungssteifigkeit mit der elastischen Steifigkeit vergleichbar. Die viskose Steifigkeit ist gering.
    Notes: Summary Joint stiffness has been defined in precise physical terms. Methods are described whereby joint stiffness may be measured objectively, qualitatively and quantitatively. Apparatus is described to permit measurements to be made at the knee and the second metacarpophalangeal joints. The major contribution to overall stiffness during a particular oscillation was elastic stiffness. Plastic stiffness was significant (up to 40 per cent at maximum amplitude). At small amplitudesCoulomb frictional stiffness was comparable with plastic stiffness. Viscous stiffness was small.

    Notes: The use of a thin layer of a compliant material as a bearing surface in human replacement joints has been found to promote fluid-film lubrication in the joint during continuous movement. However, during periods of continuous loading and little or no movement the fluid film may break down and the articulating surfaces may come into direct contact. This study considers the friction of three compliant materials under conditions of continuous loading and slow sliding velocities. The friction of a non-porous polyrethane and two porous hydrogel polymers, a terpolymer and a semi-interpenetrating network, was studied. Friction was measured between a hard spherical slider and a thin layer of the compliant material. Sliding was carried out in the presence of deionised water or new-born-calf serum as the lubricant. The friction was measured at the start up of motion, after prolonged periods of static loading, and during the subsequent sliding at a constant velocity. All three materials were found to give lower friction during steady-state sliding than at start up. Friction was also higher when serum was used as a lubricant. However, the porous hydrogels gave lower friction than the non-porous polyurethane, especially at start up. The terpolymer hydrogel gave the lowest friction values of the three materials, both at start up and in the steady state.

    Notes: Analysis of bearing surfaces of explanted cups can help to determine the wear mechanisms that are responsible for generation of wear debris. In this study a microscope polariscope was used to detect residual subsurface shear strains, deformation and subsurface cracks in explanted Charnley acetabular cups. The wear surfaces were compared to an acetabular cup from a hip joint simulator test. The six explanted cups that were studied had all failed after long periods of implantation, with penetrations ranging from 2.1 to 3.8 mm. The explanted and simulator cups both had a smooth, high-wear region. High residual subsurface shear strains were found in the high-wear region of most cups, with certain cups possessing subsurface cracks running parallel with the surface 5–10 μm deep, close to the areas of high residual subsurface shear strain. This was caused by plastic deformation and subsurface fatigue of the polymer surface.
