A theoretical relationship was recently proposed relating the wear behavior of polymetric bearing materials articulating against hard counterfaces. 1 This model attempts to predict the influence of surface roughness on wear. Laboratory-based studies have been used to establish the validity of these
The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of the sterilization method and accelerated aging on the wear and morphology of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene. In a first test, gamma-and EtO-sterilized acetabular cups were tested in a hip joint simulator for two million cycles. Aft
## 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
