Beschreibung
UHMWPE Biomaterials Handbook: Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene in Total Joint Replacement and Medical Devices, Fourth Edition describes the science, development, properties, and application of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) used in artificial joints. This book is the comprehensive reference for information on this advanced material, covering both introductory topics and the most advanced developments. This thoroughly revised new (4th) edition is divided into four distinct sections, deftly guiding the reader through the foundations, bearings, biomaterials, and specific development aspects of UHMWPE in total joint replacement. New to this edition are five chapters on a range of topics, including the latest in development and characterization of chemically crosslinked HXLPE for joint replacement, and assessment of the clinical performance of antioxidant technologies for stabilizing HXLPE. Use of UHMWPE liners for dual mobility total hip replacement is discussed, as well as applications in the hand and wrist. Written and edited by the top experts in the field of UHMWPE, this is the only state-of-the-art reference for professionals, researchers, and clinicians working with this material.

Person
Dr. Kurtz has been researching ultra-high molecular weight polyehtylene(UHMWPE) for use in orthopedics for over 10 years. He has published dozens of papers and several book chapters related to UHMWPE used in joint replacement. He has pioneered the development of new test methods for the material in orthopedics. Dr. Kurtz has authored national and international standards for medical upgrade UHMWPE.As a principle engineer at Exponent, an international engineering and scientific consulting company, his research on UHMWPE is supported by several major orthopedic manufacturers. He has funding from the National Institutes for Health to stdy UHMWPE changes after implanatation in the body, as well as to develop new computer-based tools to predict the performance of new UHMWPE materials.Dr. Kurtz is the Director of an orthopedic implant retrieval program in Philadelphia which is affiliated with Drexel University and Thomas Jefferson University. He teaches classes on the performance of orthopedic polymers (including UHMWPE) at Drexel, Temple, and Princeton Universities.
