## Abstract Severe loading and complex kinematics in total knee replacement make wear performance and toughness of the polyethylene in tibial inserts important. We investigated wear of crosslinked polyethylene using a knee simulator and measured toughness using smallβpunch testing. GUR1050 rods wer
## 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 There is currently considerable interest in the wear debris and osteolytic potential of different types of bearings used in total joint replacements. The biological activity of the wear debris is dependent on the size and volume of the particles produced. Wear volume also plays an impor
