## Abstract Tribological properties of materials used in biomedical implants critically affect the performance of the implant. A UHMWPE cup paired with a ceramic ball is a popular combination for implants due to its relatively low wear rate. In this study we investigate the effect of surface roughn
## Abstract Prosthetic joints appear to show a strong relationship between the type of relative motion and wear, requiring careful consideration in the design of wear simulators. This relationship was studied with a 12βstation pinβonβdisk device, specifically adapted for the wear simulation of pros
