In Vivo Wear Particles of Annealed Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene in Total Hip Arthropalsty
INTRODUCTION: Polyethylene wear particles induce cytokine release by macrophage, which leads to osteolysis and aseptic loosening in total joint arthroplasties. Generation of polyethylene wear particles is one of the most important factors that affecting mid-term and long-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, to reduce wear generation and to achieve better long-term results of...
متن کاملOnce Annealed Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene Exhibits Low Wear at 9 to 15 Years.
A once annealed highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) was introduced in 1998. Concerns regarding its long-term performance and oxidative resistance exist because of the presence of retained free radicals. The authors studied 48 patients with 50 hip implants having an average age of 62 years. They were followed for 9 to 15 years. The purpose of this study was to determine linear wear rate and...
متن کاملSequentially Annealed Highly Cross-linked Polyethylene Reduced In Vivo Wear Particle Generation In TKA
Introduction: Polyethylene wear particles induce macrophages to release cytokines, which can lead to osteolysis and aseptic loosening of total joint prostheses. The generation of polyethylene wear particles is one of the most important factors that affect the midterm and long-term clinical results associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, to achieve better long-term results for ...

متن کاملWear of Highly Cross-linked Polyethylene against Cobalt Chrome and Ceramic Femoral Heads
+*Jennings, L M; *Galvin, A L; *Fisher J +Institute of Medical & Biological Engineering, Leeds, UK [email protected] Introduction There is increasing interest in the coupling of highly cross-linked polyethylene with large diameter heads in the hip, due to the reported lower wear characteristics of highly cross-linked polyethylene compared to conventional polyethylene [1, 2, 3]. Further, ...
