Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene in Hip and Knee Arthroplasties

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear and particle-induced osteolysis contribute to the failure of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) was developed in the late 1990s to reduce wear and has shown lower wear rates an...
