## Abstract Reduction of wear with highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) has been reported in __in vitro__ and __in vivo__ studies of total hip prostheses. However, use of HXLPE in total knee prostheses is still controversial. The aim of this study was to compare __in vivo__ polyethylene wear par
## Abstract The use of highly crosslinked polyethylene (PE) in the knee remains controversial, because of reduced fatigue fracture properties of the material. The current study investigated postmelt surface damage as well as potential contributors to this damage in retrieved highly crosslinked PE t
## Abstract Concerns remain regarding the oxidative resistance of highly crosslinked polyethylene (PE). The study investigated the __in vivo__ performance of Durasul highly crosslinked PE by comparing the oxidation index, density, and percent crystallinity in the weightbearing and nonweightbearing
