## 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

Wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD) of the ultra-high modulus and molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers at room temperature shows a predominantly orthorhombic structure with trace amount of nonorthorhombic crystals and very low amorphous contents. The calculated unit cell dimensions a and b
Morphological similarities between virgin ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) powder and debris retrieved from failed UHMWPE total joint implants motivated this study's objective: to establish the internal microstructural features of consolidated UHMWPE. Cylindrical specimens were cored
