Abstract: This paper describes how three different unique design solutions for artificial knee joints each provide extremely low wear and the potential for a 50-year osteolysis-free lifetime in high-demand patients. Each of the three low-wearing prosthetic design solutions provides a different and distinctive functional solution for the patient and surgeon.
Keywords: artificial knee joint, prostheses, wear
