    Notes: Repair or replacement of the damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a significant clinical problem. A design utilizing ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was developed and marketed by an orthopaedic device manufacturer. Mechanical failure rates of greater than 10%/year postoperatively raised the issue of the adequacy of UHMWPE in that design. A study has been made to estimate the forces in the human anterior cruciate ligament for young, middle age, and older patients and to thus derive the minimum materials requirements for a now withdrawn prosthetic anterior cruciate ligament (PACL) design. It is concluded that UHMWPE does not possess adequate yield, creep, or fatigue properties to meet the design. Furthermore, consideration of the varying requirements on the PACL, due to differences in age and activity levels of patients, suggest that a band-type design offers a better possibility of achieving adequate materials performance in the ACL prosthetic replacement.

    Notes: The release of corrosion products by implants has become a matter of concern. Using a microsphere model, the release of chromium, cobalt, and nickel, secondary to implantation of various surface area exposures of F-75, a cast cobalt-chromium alloy, was studied over a 30 day period in the rat. Dose related elevations were observed in the serum concentration of chromium and cobalt but not of nickel, with the maxima being achieved at 3 days after metal implantation followed by declines in concentration. The chromium elevation, approximately twelvefold for a surface area to body weight (SA/BW) ratio of 300 x is similar to that previously reported in patients receiving total hip replacement arthoplasties. However, the cobalt elevation, twentyfold for a SA/BW ratio of 300 x, has not been previously observed. These serum concentration changes are as yet unexplained, but are probably not due to fibrous capsule maturation or alloy repassivation.

    Notes: An investigation into blood-borne organometallic compounds that arise from the corrosion of metals used in orthopedic prosthetic devices was conducted using an in vivo rat model with an implantation time of 10 days and an in vitro human serum model with an incubation time of 5 days. Both models involved 316LSS and HS-21Haynes Stellite 21: Stellite Division of Cobalt Corporation, Kokomo, Indiana (An alloy of very similar composition to ASTM F-75) in the spherical powder form of 55 ± 5 μm microns in diameter at three different surface areas to body weight ratios. Gel chromatography on cross-linked dextran (G-200) was used to fractionate the serum proteins which bound the metal ions (chromium, cobalt, and nickel) released and identify them. Atomic-absorption-spectrophotometry analysis measured the concentration of the metal ions in each serum protein peak as well as whole serum from both models, and red cell and tissue from the in vivo model. Within the serum proteins, the metal ions were bound to two of the principal serum protein peaks. Similar distributions of the metals among the serum protein peaks were not noted.

    Notes: An in vivo study of a new total finger joint prosthesis was performed to evaluate a biological ingrowth system of attachment of the device to bone. The prosthesis consisted of two conical ribbed ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene plugs that were fixed by impaction into the medullary cavity after reaming. A cobalt-chromium alloy metal stemmed hinge slides inside the plugs with the joint articulation at the end of the stem. The focus of this study was to measure the concentration of cobalt and nickel in the serum, erythrocytes, and periarticular tissue (muscle from the sartorius and vastus medialis) resulting from the implantation of this device in the knee of the cat for periods of up to 1 year. The results indicate significant elevation in serum cobalt concentrations only after 5 months and increased concentrations in serum nickel which, were more pronounced after two months. Column chromatographic separations on cross-linked Dextran (G-200) shows a different distribution across the three principal protein peaks for each metal.
