Fixation and Wear With Contemporary Acetabular Components and Cross-Linked Polyethylene at 10-Years in Patients Aged 50 and Under.
We evaluated the mid-term performance of a moderately cross-linked polyethylene THA bearing in younger patients. One hundred consecutive THAs performed in patients 50 years of age and under using the same cementless acetabular component and moderately cross-linked polyethylene were evaluated at minimum 10 year follow-up. At final follow-up 75 patients (89 hips) were living, 7 patients (7 hips) ...
متن کاملTradeoffs amongst fatigue, wear, and oxidation resistance of cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
This study evaluated the tradeoffs amongst fatigue crack propagation resistance, wear resistance, and oxidative stability in a wide variety of clinically-relevant cross-linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Highly cross-linked re-melted materials showed good oxidation and wear performance, but diminished fatigue crack propagation resistance. Highly cross-linked annealed materials sho...
متن کاملWear of moderately cross-linked polyethylene fixed bearing knee replacements
Cross-linked polyethylene has been explored as an alternative to conventional polyethylene in total joint replacement in order to reduce wear volume and decrease failure through polyethylene wear debris induced osteolysis [1]. Due to the demands of a total knee replacement, moderately cross-linked polyethylene is recommended to retain mechanical properties [2]. This study aims to investigate th...
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 کاملA comparison of the wear and physical properties of silane cross-linked polyethylene and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
Cross-linked polyethylenes are being introduced widely in acetabular cups in hip prostheses as a strategy to reduce the incidence of wear debris-induced osteolysis. It will be many years before substantial clinical data can be collected on the wear of these new materials. Silane cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) was introduced into clinical practice in a limited series of acetabular cups in 1986...
