The role that ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear at bearing surfaces in total hip and knee arthroplasties plays in the clinical life of these implants cannot be overemphasized. This subject has therefore been attracting enormous research attention on both fundamental and technolog
