2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Purpose of research The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that polyethylene (Vitamin E-containing polyethylene), a newly introduced biomaterial for tibial inserts in hip replacement surgery and widely used clinically, but whose mid- to long-term clinical results are still unknown, is superior to conventional polyethylene in vivo. The aim of this project is to conduct an international multi-center joint research study to determine whether polyethylene wear debris production can be reduced in the future, using an in vivo polyethylene wear debris analysis method that the investigators developed as a method that can provide early feedback.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether polyethylene (Vitamin E-containing polyethylene), which has been newly introduced and widely used clinically as a biomaterial for tibial inserts in total knee arthroplasty, but whose mid- to long-term clinical results are still unknown, is more effective than conventional polyethylene. Our goal is to clarify through an international multi-center joint study using in vivo polyethylene wear particle analysis, which the investigators developed as a method to provide early feedback, as to whether polyethylene wear debris production in vivo can be reduced.
