Highly Cross-Linked vs Conventional Polyethylene: No Differences in Rim Notching From Micromotion on Retrieved Acetabular Liners

Previous literature suggested highly cross-linked acetabular liners demonstrated notching patterns that may be a point of crack origin and rim failure. We examined (1) whether notching patterns and rim cracks existed and demonstrated similar morphological properties in retrieved highly cross-linked...
