- •
The study attests usefulness of the model for predicting MoM wear rates.
- •
The model correctly predicts wear rates observed in MoM hip joint simulators.
- •
It allows identify determining material, mechanical and electrochemical parameters.
- •
It emphasizes the need of the electrochemical conditions in artificial hip joints.
- •
It offers the possibility to predict in-vivo MoM wear rate for individual patients.
