## Abstract Previous observations of reduced uniaxial elongation, fracture resistance, and crack propagation resistance of highly crosslinked ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) have contributed to concern that the technology may not be appropriate for systems undergoing cyclic fatigue

## Abstract Highly cross‐linked polyethylenes (HXLPEs) have been incorporated into the hip replacement armamentarium based on their improved wear resistance. However, two different methods of thermal treatment separate the orthopedic community as strategies to control potential long‐term oxidation,
## Abstract A series of __in vitro__ patella damage tests were developed using a knee simulator to investigate electron‐beam‐irradiated and ‐melted ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene and conventional ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene at the patellofemoral articulation. Three different
