Chemical Eluates from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene and Fibroblast Proliferation
Although polyethylene wear particles have been implicated in osteolysis and implant loosening, this study is the first to test whether chemical eluates extracted from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) could also be involved in this process. Eluates were prepared from UHMWPE bar stock...
