Investigations of mobility and durability of a dual mobility hip prosthesis
2021.10.13 |
| Date | Fri 29 Oct |
| Time | 10:00 — 12:00 |

On Friday 29 October at 10:00, Peter Bo Jørgensen defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Kinematics, tribology and safety of a dual mobility hip prosthesis".
A dual mobility hip prosthesis consist of a moveable plastic liner between a metal acetabular component and a femoral head. The dual mobility articulation design reduce the risk of hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty - but only if the plastic liner keeps moving during hip function in the patient. It is difficult to measure the liner motion, because the plastic is translucent in radiographs. In this ph.d. project an advanced and precise method to measure motion of the plastic liner is presented and used to measure liner motion, liner wear and prosthesis fixation in the bone in clinical studies.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence i public and takes place in Auditorium C114-101, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 99, 8200 Aarhus N and online via Zoom. Please read the attached press release for more information.
