Interactive influences of crosslinking, counterface roughness and kinematics on the wear of crosslinked UHMWPE
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear debris has been shown to be a major cause of long term failure of total joint replacements. In vitro studies have shown that not only is the size and shape of the particles important for cellular response but also the volumetric concentration of...
