## Abstract The accumulated data suggest that there is a strong correlation between polyethylene wear and osteolysis, which ultimately leads to prosthetic loosening. Second‐generation metal‐on‐metal prostheses have been introduced, with an eye toward resolving this wear‐induced osteolysis problem.

## Abstract In addition to classical run‐in and steady‐state wear phases, metal‐on‐metal (MOM) hip bearings have encountered “runaway wear” (RAW) trends in simulator studies. This puzzling behavior has resulted in 2‐ to 19‐fold wear increases compared with other apparently “identical” bearings. MOM
