## Abstract The purpose of the present study was to compare wear particles isolated from metalโmetal (MM) hip implants worn in an orbital bearing simulator with particles from similar MM total hip replacement (THR) implants worn __in vivo__. Comparison of these particles is important because it wil

## Abstract Validation of a wear simulator requires that the device produce a similar type and amount of wear and particles of a comparable morphology as occurs clinically. Using techniques previously established to compare polyethylene particles from hip simulators to those from retrieved tissues,
## Abstract The cellular reaction to wear debris may result in the failure of an artificial joint's fixation to the skeleton. The influence of debris opsinization on cell activity has received little attention. This study seeks to establish whether different proteinaceous culture environments may i
## Abstract The size, shape, and number of polyethylene wear particles found in synovial fluids of patients 1 year after implantation of 22 wellโfunctioning total knee prostheses (11 contemporary mobileโbearing type, 11 posteriorโstabilized type) were determined. Polyethylene wear particles were is
