Introduction: Osteolysis induced by wear particles in metal-on-polyethylene hip implants has been the key motivation to look for alternative bearings and in fact emergence and development of new metal-on-metal (MOM) implant materials for joint replacement. However, while the volume of wear particles produced in metal-on-metal articulations is lower the number of particles produced is higher per volume of wear, due to the reduced size of wear particles. Although various surface and interface characterization methods have been applied to study the physical wear, corrosion and implant surface interactions with biological environments, presently the local and systematic effects of metal debris are poorly understood. Materials and Methods: Cobalt-chromium-molybdenium (CoCr) alloys have been used in MOM implants extensively. Metallic samples were cut and mirror polished. In the present study The samples were immersed in four different biological lubricants (Human serum, synovial fluid, MEM and Milli-Q water) for 10 min, 1 hr, and 5 days of immersion and then studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS). XPS determined the chemistry of elements located whitin the top few nanometers of materials. Significant differences in the absorbed layers and differences in the corrosive nature of Ti and CoCr implant substrates and wear particles were found. Results and discussion: Spectra from P 2p3/2, O1s, Ca2p3/2, C1s and N1s were collected. Metallic substrates behaved differently when immersed in the same lubricant. The four lubricants reacted different with metallic surfaces. Larger calcium deposits occurred in supersaturated physiological solutions. Deposition of calcium phosphate was different on CoCr alloys depending on the lubricant and the immersion period. Specimens immersed into synovial fluid gave thinner oxide layers and lower calcium phosphate deposits. For all specimens, water immersion resulted in thicker oxide layer. For many reactive metals, dissolution of ions from the metal surface takes place along with thickening of the metal oxide during passivation, or surface corrosion.Conclusion: Glycoaminoglycans (GAG) and related proteins may hinder calcium phosphate deposition on samples immersed in synovial fluid. ToF-SIMS measurements showed that the resulting corrosion products depend upon the nature of the environment. The thickness of the calcium phosphate deposits was different for different metal substrate.
