Abstract
Within this project ''''in vivo'''' and in vitro studies of aseptic loosening of orthopaedic implants are performed. ''''In vivo'''' studies are represented by the implant retrieval program, which includes the documentation of all the revision surgeries at the Orthopaedic clinic and detailed analyses of replaced components and periprosthetic tissues (microscopic, surface analytical and histologic analyses). Fundamental in vitro studies of orthopaedic alloys (stainless steels, cobalt and titanium alloys) in physiologic solutions include electrochemical investigations in combination with analytical and surface-analytical techniques. The aim of these fundamental studies is to explain the behaviour of metallic materials in human body.
