Determination of Reference Geometry for Polyethylene Tibial Insert Wear Analysis

Geometric wear analysis techniques require unworn geometries to serve as a reference in wear measurement. A method to create a reference geometrical model is described for retrieval studies when the actual unworn geometry is unavailable. Never-implanted tibial inserts were scanned with micro–compute...
