Anti-oxidation Treatment of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Components to Decrease Periprosthetic Osteolysis: Evaluation of Osteolytic and Osteogenic Properties of Wear Debris Particles in a Murine Calvaria Model

Wear debris-induced osteolysis remains the greatest limitation of long-term success for total joint replacements with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearings. To address oxidative degradation post-gamma irradiation, manufacturers are investigating the incorporation of antioxidants...
