## Abstract Wear rates of orthopaedic polyethylene in 37Β°C water are not very contact stress dependent below 1000 psi (6.9 MPa) but above that level they accelerate substantially. The pressure dependence overall follows an exponential function. Creep in the contact pressure range of 3–17 MPa and ab

## Abstract It is recognized that the chronic inflammation in peri‐prosthetic tissue that contributes to implant failure frequently is provoked by the presence of wear debris. Some wear debris is inevitable because of the nature of the prosthesis, but not all patients develop severe inflammatory re

## Abstract Ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene components for total joint replacement chemically degrade before and after implantation, and the degradation is associated with an increase in density.

## Abstract A new processing method, high velocity compaction (HVC), is particularly adapted to process ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). In a previous study, it has been shown that UHMWPE processed by HVC exhibits superior Young's modulus and significant ductility, owing to the pr
