## Abstract The use of highly crosslinked polyethylene (PE) in the knee remains controversial, because of reduced fatigue fracture properties of the material. The current study investigated postmelt surface damage as well as potential contributors to this damage in retrieved highly crosslinked PE t
## Abstract Concerns remain regarding the oxidative resistance of highly crosslinked polyethylene (PE). The study investigated the __in vivo__ performance of Durasul highly crosslinked PE by comparing the oxidation index, density, and percent crystallinity in the weightbearing and nonweightbearing
## Abstract Stress magnitude and distribution of both conventional polyethylene versus a crosslinked polyethylene in the liner of a total hip replacement (THR) were examined using finite element analysis and pressure sensitive film. Both types of polyethylene were assessed against head sizes of 22
