The role that ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear at bearing surfaces in total hip and knee arthroplasties plays in the clinical life of these implants cannot be overemphasized. This subject has therefore been attracting enormous research attention on both fundamental and technolog

## Abstract Polyethylene wear particles are one of the most important factors affecting the results of total hip arthroplasty (THA). To reduce wear generation and to achieve better longβterm results of THA, highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXPE) has recently been introduced and come into wide use.
## ABSTRACT Over the past 30βyears joint replacement prostheses have been developed and refined to enhance durability and reproducibility. Total hip joint arthroplasty is being performed in an increasing number of younger patients; therefore orthopaedic surgeons seek implants with a longer life spa
The biomechanics of the hip joint provide an understanding of the development, evolution, and treatment of many disabling conditions of this joint. The available methods of biomechanical analysis include in vitro studies, in vivo studies, and theoretical mathematic analyses. The information obtained
The size and morphology of particulate wear debris retrieved from tissues around 18 failed total knee replacements (TKR) were characterized. Interfacial membranes from nine cemented and nine uncemented TKR were harvested from below the tibial components during revision surgery. Wear debris were extr
