Wear of highly crosslinked polyethylene acetabular components
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Wear rates of highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) acetabular components have varied considerably between different published studies. This variation is in part due to the different techniques used to measure wear and to the errors inherent in measuring the relatively low amounts of wear in XLPE bearings. We undertook a scoping review of studies that have examined the i...
متن کاملPolyethylene wear from retrieved acetabular cups.
Laboratory wear testing of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene from 12 Charnley acetabular cups, removed after periods of up to 17.5 years showed that the large patient-to-patient variations in clinical penetration rate cannot be explained by batch-to-batch variation in the wear resistance of the material. Nor was there any evidence of a time-dependent degradation in wear resistance of the...
متن کاملWear of retrieved UHMWPE hip liners.
After the gamma-irradiation sterilization, the most widely used orthopaedic grade polymer bearing liner material for the total joint replacement, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), degrades through the progressive in vivo oxidation. The oxidative degradation makes UHMWPE brittle and leads to reduction of its mechanical properties. In this study, the effect of the in vivo post-ir...
متن کاملValidation of a micro-CT technique for measuring volumetric wear in retrieved acetabular liners.
In this study, a novel micro-CT-based technique for evaluating wear in retrieved acetabular liners was introduced and validated. Six UHMWPE acetabular components ranging in implantation time from 2.7 to 14.4 years were collected and evaluated with the use of a high-resolution micro-CT scanner. The components were scanned with a uniform volumetric resolution of 74 microns (16-bit precision) with...
متن کاملHighly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular liners retrieved four to five years after revision surgery: a report of two cases.
There is currently considerable interest in the use of highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) acetabular liners for total hip arthroplasty (THA). In literature, only a single retrieval analysis of one type of XLPE liner implanted for greater than four years exists. The purpose of the present report is to quantify surface deviations in two XLPE liners implanted during revision THA and retrieved...
