## Abstract The impact of femoral head surface roughness on wear of Ξ³βirradiation sterilized (3 MRad in nitrogen, crosslinked) and nonsterilized (not crosslinked) UHMWPE acetabular cups has been evaluated. Gravimetric wear testing was performed in a hip joint simulator for 2 Γ 10^6^ cycles. CoCrMo

A theoretical relationship was recently proposed relating the wear behavior of polymetric bearing materials articulating against hard counterfaces. 1 This model attempts to predict the influence of surface roughness on wear. Laboratory-based studies have been used to establish the validity of these
This study compares the clinical wear rates and implant characteristics of 63 surgically retrieved acetabular components. All components were made by the same manufacturer, implanted by the same surgeon, in articulation against the same type of femoral component, and revised for the same reason; 19
