An electron spin resonance (ESR) technique is employed to determine the free radical distribution in the articulating surfaces of retrieved acetabular cups and knee-joint plateaus (retrieved after more than 6 years of implantation). Similar measurements made on samples prepared from cyclically stres

## Abstract The objective of this study was to develop an MRโbased technique for quantifying the deformation of articular cartilage during mechanical loading in an intact cadaver joint at high spatial and temporal resolution. A nonmetallic pressure device was constructed for applying loads of >1000
## Abstract The mechanical and tribological properties of a new biomaterial, an ultra high molecular weight polyethyleneโhyaluronan (UHMWPEโHA) microcomposite, were investigated in this article, which is Part II of a twoโpart study. Part I presented the synthesis and physical/chemical characterizat
