Mechanical wear and oxidative degradation analysis of retrieved ultra high molecular weight polyethylene acetabular cups

The number of revision joint replacements has been increasing substantially over the last few years. Understanding their failure mechanism is extremely important for improving the design and material selection of current implants. This study includes ten retrieved and four new mildly cross-linked ul...
