## Abstract Analytical studies of the stresses on and within ultra high molecular weight polyethylene joint components suggest that damage modes associated with polyethylene fatigue failure are caused by a combination of surface and subsurface crack propagation. Fatigue crack propagation tests unde

The relative fatigue crack propagation resistance of plain and carbon fiber-reinforced ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was determined from cyclic loading tests performed on compact tension specimens machined from the tibia1 components of total knee prostheses. Both materials were ch
Wear damage to the articulating surfaces of total joint components made of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene is associated with a fatigue fracture mechanism, despite the fact that these surfaces are subjected to primarily compressive and cornpressive-tensile cyclic stresses. The question aris
