DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.01.047
Abstract: Periprosthetic osteolysis is a major cause of implant failure in total hip replacements. Aseptic loosening caused by osteolytic lesions is associated with the production of bioactive wear particles from the articulations of implants. Wear particles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/09544119221130673
Abstract: Highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is a major advance in total hip arthroplasty (THA), as it suffers from less wear and thus is associated with lower revision rates than standard ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Early failures… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym14235281
Abstract: The wear of the tibial insert is one of the primary factors leading to the failure of total knee arthroplasty. As materials age, their wear performance often degrades. Supplementing highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) with dodecyl… read more here.
