Purpose: Purpose of this paper is presentation of observations on different kinds of wear and tear of biomaterials used in contemporary orthopaedic surgery. Design/methodology/approach: Types of prosthesis damage, encountered in medical practice, and their causes have been described. Results of many clinical studies were analysed to review prosthesis damage from the stage of implanting (such as intrusion of a foreign object between its components) to their natural wear and tear after many years of use (abrasive wear, biological corrosion). Findings: It has been shown that prostheses heads may also succumb to quick wear and tear despite being made of harder and more durable materials than sockets. Research limitations/implications: Clinical and laboratory of defective implants discover the reasons of damage, but they are time consuming. There are also difficulties in obtaining objects for research. Originality/value: The research has helped to systematise the knowledge on the mechanisms of wear and damage of endoprostheses, which is vital for improvement of their life cycle.
