Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine frictional temperature rise between cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) acetabular insert and CoCrMo femoral head articulating surfaces. 0,5 mm in diameter dimples were machined on frictional surface of UHMWPE acetabular insert. Effects of these dimples on frictional temperature rise have been investigated. Frictional temperature rise on material surfaces were measured on custom made experimental setup by using real prosthesis samples. The results show that surface dimples served to decrease frictional temperature rise of the surfaces.
