Comparison of CMM and Micro-CT Volumetric Analysis of Polyethylene Tibial Knee Inserts in Total Knee Replacement

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearings are used widely in orthopaedic joint replacement as a prominent material for improving the longevity, which is dramatically influenced by wear of polyethylene. Polyethylene tibial knee components from knee simulators under two different input...
