The mechanisms of wear in ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) acetabular cups were investigated on both laboratory simulator-tested cups and a clinically retrieved component. Two different levels of wear process were identified: one characterized by the formation and detachment of plat
## Abstract Among the factors that have been suggested as contributing to the failure of a total joint replacement are stress shielding and the subsequent bone resorption. Recent studies have shown that when a backing shell made from a Ti alloy is used, high stresses are generated in the cement at
