## Abstract Polyethylene (PE) debris has been well studied in clinical retrievals and laboratory wear simulations of total hip replacements. However, little is known about PE debris from total knee replacements. In this study, we investigated the effects of crosslinking PE bearings and alternate co
## Abstract Reduction of wear with highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) has been reported in __in vitro__ and __in vivo__ studies of total hip prostheses. However, use of HXLPE in total knee prostheses is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare __in vivo__ polyethylene wear par
