## Abstract Reduction of wear with highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) has been reported in __in vitro__ and __in vivo__ studies of total hip prostheses. However, use of HXLPE in total knee prostheses is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare __in vivo__ polyethylene wear par
## Abstract A series of __in vitro__ patella damage tests were developed using a knee simulator to investigate electron‐beam‐irradiated and ‐melted ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene and conventional ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene at the patellofemoral articulation. Three different
