It is important to evaluate the effective life of an artificial joint. The sliding test with a joint simulator is applied to evaluate of the life of an artificial joint. However, the sliding test with a joint simulator requires high cost and easier sliding test method for evaluation of the life is required. A pin-on-plate test method with 1 axis and a pin-on-plate test method are easy, but insufficient to evaluate the life of an artificial joint. Then, in this study, 2 axes pin-on-plate method was proposed for evaluation of the life of an artificial joint. Furthermore, the effective life of an artificial joint was estimated from the amount of UHMWPE wear.
