<p>Trifemur after augmentation proves as a holistic wear tester, both as ball-on-socket and ball-on-triplate type configuration. Unaccelerated but continuous testing of implants &amp; lubricants just for few months, can characterize their decades long service limited by either wear depth or wear volume. This has to be tested and ascertained, to rank the Trifemur as a standard comparator.
