To reduce wear in joint bearings of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the most important issue for improving long term results and implant survival. Due to low wear rates and excellent tribological features in simulator tests Diamond-Like-Carbon coating (DLC) of femoral balls is still discussed as an
## Abstract The classical wear mechanisms abrasion, fatigue, and adhesion are the most frequent causes of surface changes of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in artificial joints. The counterpart material has a strong influence on the wear and friction behavior of artificial joints
