## Abstract The capability to reliably predict longโterm __in vivo__ wear of polyethylene would be of great value for the early identification of problematic total hip designs. Formal quantitative estimates of longโterm polyethylene wear were made from a series of 197 patients who had a total hip a

## Abstract Adaptive remeshing capability was addded to an existing slidingโdistanceโcoupled finite element model of polyethylene wear in total hip arthroplasty. This augmentation allowed earlier postoperative wear simulation to be extended to the clinically more significant longโterm regimen (as l
## Abstract Hip resurfacing arthroplasty has become a popular alternative to conventional hip surgery. Surface replacements with bearing sizes of 55 mm (__n__ = 5) and 39 mm (__n__ = 5) were tested in a hip simulator for 15 million cycles (Mc). Wear debris was isolated from the serum lubricant and
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the longโterm wear performance of alumina matrix composite (AMC) heads against alumina matrix composite inserts and alumina matrix composite heads against alumina (Al) inserts with the use of a hipโjoint simulator incorporating severe swing phas
