✦ Synopsis

The role that ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear at bearing surfaces in total hip and knee arthroplasties plays in the clinical life of these implants cannot be overemphasized. This subject has therefore been attracting enormous research attention on both fundamental and technological levels. Given this, it is important to detail the main features of the knowledge base and describe research directions that may culminate in the production of new and/or improved varieties of UHMWPE material and components. These aspects are the subject of the present review.

## Abstract Polyethylene wear particles are one of the most important factors affecting the results of total hip arthroplasty (THA). To reduce wear generation and to achieve better long‐term results of THA, highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXPE) has recently been introduced and come into wide use.
