Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylenes in Total Hip Arthroplasty : JBJS JBJS Journal Case …

All wear-measurement techniques assess femoral head penetration and therefore cannot
distinguish between true polyethylene wear and bedding-in. Multiple wear measurements …

Background: Highly cross-linked polyethylene was introduced for clinical use in total hip
arthroplasty with the expectation that it would exhibit less wear when compared with …

Background Highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) was introduced to decrease
periprosthetic osteolysis related to polyethylene wear, a major reason for revision of total hip …

In this study, we compare the in vivo wear performance of electron beam–irradiated,
postirradiation-melted, highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) and traditional UHMWPE …

Wear of highly cross-linked polyethylene is reportedly independent of head size. To confirm
that observation we asked in our population whether head size related to wear with one type …

The creep and wear behaviour of highly cross-linked polyethylene and standard
polyethylene liners were examined in a prospective, double-blind randomised, controlled …

Our purpose was to compare the clinical wear performance of highly cross-linked
(Crossfire®) polyethylene with conventional (N2Vac™) polyethylene total hip bearings. We …

Background Osteolysis is a major mode of hip implant failure. Previous literature has
focused on the amount of polyethylene wear comparing highly crosslinked polyethylene …

Background The success of THA largely depends on correct placement of the individual
components. Traditionally, these have been placed freehand using anatomic landmarks, but …
