Larger femoral head size reduces the incidence of hip dislocation, which is a major complication after total hip arthroplasty. However, acetabular liner wear is a function of contact area and therefore head size. Larger heads also reduce liner thickness and there is a general concern about increased
The adverse biological response to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear debris in total joint replacement warrants the need for the material's improved wear resistance. The reaction of oxygen with radiation-induced free radicals within UHMWPE leads to oxidative degradation of the m
