Polyethylene wear remains a clinically relevant issue affecting total knee replacement (TKR) performance, with considerable variability observed in both clinical retrieval and experimental wear studies. Recently, computational wear simulations have been shown to predict similar results to in vitro a
Periprosthetic tissue was obtained at revision surgery from 10 posterior cruciate retaining total knee replacement cases (five different manufacturers). The tissues were hydrolyzed and polyethylene particles were isolated from each case. Individual particles were analyzed by scanning electron micros
