Did you know that wear on joint prostheses is the main cause of premature failure leading to revision surgery. Orthopedic implants, like femoral heads, stems and sockets, are manufactured with a very low form error and a high degree of smoothness so as to function as low-wear bearings. But during in vivo use, the surfaces are subject to both wear and damage.

Metrology 4.0 software’s 3D mapping techniques utilised on Taylor Hobson instruments enable you to identify areas of wear or corrosion, providing precise dimensions for calculating the volume of material loss. This is an essential part of improving the quality and safety of implants.
