Concerns of polyethylene wear debris induced osteolysis has been partially responsible for the renewed interest in the second generation Metal-on-Metal (MoM) hip replacements as an alternative to widely used Metal-on-Polyethylene (MoP) joint prostheses. The total wear loss from MoM is much less than
## Abstract The accumulated data suggest that there is a strong correlation between polyethylene wear and osteolysis, which ultimately leads to prosthetic loosening. Secondβgeneration metalβonβmetal prostheses have been introduced, with an eye toward resolving this wearβinduced osteolysis problem.
