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 کامل‘severe’ Wear Challenge to 36 Mm Mechanically Enhanced Crosslinked Polyethylene Hip Cups
Introduction Recent studies have shown that sequential irradiation/annealing processes improves the wear performance and oxidation resistance of crosslinked polyethylene, while maintaining mechanical properties [1,2]. Although these early results showed great promise for mechanically enhanced XLPE, we still know little about the variables that can lead to high-wear, particularly surface roughne...
متن کاملIsolated polyethylene exchange versus acetabular revision for polyethylene wear.
UNLABELLED Polyethylene wear and osteolysis are not uncommon in THA mid- and long-term. In asymptomatic patients the dilemma faced by the orthopaedic surgeon is whether to revise the cup and risk damage to the supporting columns and even pelvic discontinuity or to perform isolated polyethylene exchange and risk a high rate of postoperative recurrent instability and dislocation that will necessi...
متن کاملA ruthenium catalyst yielding crosslinked polyethylene.
A ruthenium phosphane aryl sulfonate was found to be an efficient catalyst for the polymerization of ethene. Surprisingly, the resulting polyethylene is crosslinked.
