The effect of lubricant composition on the wear behaviour of polyethylene for orthopaedic applications

The composition of orthopaedic wear testing lubricants used to mimic synovial fluid (SF) is known to significantly affect in vitro polyethylene (PE) wear; however, some wear testing standards may be promoting the use of lubricants that are not clinically relevant. The present thesis evaluated the bi...
