Abstract

Objective To evaluate the wear of polyethylene in a Brazilian ultracongruent knee prosthesis with a rotating platform (Rotaflex, Víncula, Rio Claro, SP, Brasil).

Methods We used the test method with the loading and preparation parameters mentioned in the standards regulation ISO 14243-1:2009, and the measurement methods mentioned in the standards regulation ISO 14243-2:2009, for the evaluation of the wear behavior of a Brazilian prosthesis with a rotating platform. The equipment used for the wear test was the ISO 14243–1 gait simulator (EndoLab, Riedering, Germany).

Results After 10 million cycles, the evaluation of the polyethylene wear showed a regular appearance of surface wear at a mean rate of 2.56 mg per million cycles.

Conclusion The wear of the polyethylene of the evaluated prosthesis was minimal after the tests performed and with safety limits higher than those recommended by biomechanical engineering.
