## Inter- The wear of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) when sliding against Zirconia ceramic and stainless steel counterfaGes has been compared in a pin-on-plate reciprocator and in a hip joint simulutor. A lower wearfactor was found for the UHMWPE when sliding on the Zirconia cer
## Abstract The two systems for artificial hip joints in use at present are metalβonβmetal and metalβonβplastic. There are many variables affecting friction and wear, which include diameter, sphericity, relative geometry of the components, and surface roughness. Tests in a simulating machine incorp
