Replacement joints are tricky. The joints’ constant movement can cause particles to wear off and to begin a reaction within the body that can lead to loosening and to yet another installation. Because this is not a fun scenario, researchers have sought ways to determine which particles cause problems and which materials work best. A group at the Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering at the University of Leeds in the UK is using the Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) system from NanoSight Ltd. of Salisbury, also in the UK, to learn more about the type and size of debris from...Read full article
